維納斯腰帶  Belt of Venus  2024
 

Belt of Venus is a natural phenomenon that appears just before sunrise or after sunset.
When the sun sinks below the horizon, its light scatters through the atmosphere, forming a soft pink band above the earth’s shadow. The pink light that lingers at the edge of day lasts only a few minutes a quiet extension of daylight that seems to stretch time itself.

I like pink. It’s gentle but a little stubborn; it softens a space and makes it breathe.
In nerikomi, I let different colors of clay find their own balance. The patterns that emerge are half experience, half accident like the conversation between tea and vessels, an everyday rhythm that slows time.
 

維納斯腰帶是一種在日出前或日落後出現的自然現象。
當太陽剛沉入地平線下，光線被大氣中的微粒散射，天空在地影之上浮現一圈淡粉色的光。長日之後的停在日與夜的交界的粉紅夕陽，只持續短短幾分鐘，是一天的延續，靜靜地留在空氣裡，讓人覺得時間被延長了。
我喜歡粉紅色。柔軟卻帶點固執，讓空間變得溫和、有呼吸。在絞胎的過程裡，我讓不同顏色的土自己找到平衡。那些紋理一半來自經驗，一半是偶然，就像茶與器這場對話，是讓時間變慢的日常。
