Concept of artwork 設計理念:

The work expresses an image of extinction, utilizing geometric patterns on an object shaped like an egg, which symbolizes life. The three characteristic elements designed into the piece—its round form, thin surface, and perforated areas—harmonize between light and darkness, maximizing the inherent spatiality of the ceramic.

其他說明:

The geometric design visible on the artwork was created by sanding its surface with a tool I personally made by wrapping sandpaper around a PVC pipe. Depending on the curvature of the artwork's form, the depth of the sanding, and the angle, various cross-sections appear, and as these multiple sections overlap, they form the geometric patterns.

It can be misunderstood as a simple decoration.

Is a mouth necessary in a work that carves away material to reveal its interior? Furthermore, it was unclear how the artist perceives the coexistence of geometric precision and ambiguity in the traces left by the carving and the treatment of the holes.
