These are stoneware ceramics (evaporator, reactor shell, hand thrown using foot wheel), screened fine sand, recycled wood, bamboo (for the fork to draw in the sand), and wind. Wind draws each day a new pattern in the sand according to the placement of elements and the wind direction. Part of the concept is to use clean process and handmade tools to build such piece. The contrast between zen tradition and modernity is important as modernity and history become integrated in our contemporary environment as a signle point of reference. to:
