The work "Object: Wu-Jing-Cang/无尽藏之物" uses straw as a medium to describe the endless relationship between soil and straw in time and space, and the appearance of straw in human civilization: life, production, funerals, sacrifices, sowing, harvesting, etc. are endless cycles with a sense of ritual.

 

Funeral White: The meaning of autumn-white mentioned in the "Book of the Later Han" and commonly used white of Chinese mourning clothes, which link death and whiteness.

No colorants were added to the pure white clay during the production process, and the final result is a natural gray-purple color. The firing process, like cremation, begins a new cycle in the ashes.
