Theme of Randomness
In the past, I did a lot of measurements in my works because I liked perfectness. However, after I realized the beauty of imperfectness from hand-making, I started to change my style stream. Hence, I usually do not involve measurements in my art anymore, and I began to enjoy making with randomness.

When I started doing my chair, I didn't completely know how the chair would be made. Once I had the idea in my mind, I started to work with the idea; while I was actually taking a chance to make the idea success.

Theme of Fragility
When I knew that we needed to make a chair out of paper, the word “fragility” came to my mind spontaneously.

People always think a chair supposed to be supportive. However, I would like to play with this fact. I wanted people to think my chair was fragile, while it could support weight.

I was quite happy with the “wholes” idea, as audiences can see through from one side of the chair to the other side. It made the chair design become unique, and it also implied the theme of fragility.
