The ongoing project "yàn" started with the two inkstones that I used for my calligraphy course when I was a child. Although calligraphy is still an important tradition in the East Asian cultural sphere, nowadays we don’t actually practice it in our daily life. Because of the absence of calligraphy in my current life, I came up with the thought to cut, carve, facet the inkstones intuitionally and spontaneously. Gradually the forms and textures accidentally resemble the characters of calligraphy in a way. Thus, deconstructed functionality and interpreted materiality here deviously become carriers of intertwined traditions, memories, and even identities.
