Hui (Radical Return)

Poster and sculpture
2022

From 2D to 3D, the sculpture ‘Home(家)’ expands upon a poster I exhibited in the 2021 Radical Return exhibition. The flat Chinese character for “home” was recreated as a coffee table with audio output that allows people who cannot see to hear and/or touch the object. By hearing me read the poem I wrote in the original piece, I aim to defamiliarize tactile experience with raw material.
