VERONA CERAMIC
To be, or What to be
Discovering our existing through matter and object hood
From Shakespeare’s “to be or not to be” to today, we continue to question life’s meaning. Yet each era of upheaval disrupts inherited beliefs, leaving us unsettled and searching anew. As science deepens our understanding of the material world, spiritual certainty fades. If we shift our focus from transcendence to physical existence, what remains of us?
I explore this question through the body, using the idea of objecthood. In my ceramic works, forms become intermediaries—compressed by multiple spaces or acting as passages between them. These works do not represent the body, but suggest a condition: to exist as an object is to be in relation to surrounding space—to contain, channel, or obstruct it.
In this sense, objecthood is not simply the opposite of subjectivity, but a way to understand human existence as relational, unstable, and continuously shaped by the conditions we inhabit.
Scene 1
"What if we are the "thing" between 2 or multi spaces?"
We, our bodies, are the divider of the spaces. Or our bodies is the portal connecting 2 or multi spaces...
The atmosphere, the vibrations, they are also part of the body. We can't see them because of our limitations of our eyes.
Scene 2
What if our bodies' boundaries can be redefined: Where's the edge of our bodies?

Also, what will be inside and outside?
Scene 3
What if everything we can see in the world just a captured frame of an entire body?
In more abilities to our vision, so of speech higher dimensions sense, an object might contain more faces and angles...
Scene 4
What's the true form of the other side?
What you see might not be the fact...
