About The Entry

“Clay & Light: A Living Practice of Craft” is an installation that reuses discarded ceramic fragments and transforms them into a new sensory experience.

By using recycled clay pieces as the main material, the project gives new life to what was once considered waste, revealing traces of time, use, and human touch.

Through controlled light, these fragments are not simply displayed but made visible in a different way. The installation creates a non-digital, immersive environment where visitors experience craft through their body rather than just looking.

Instead of presenting finished objects, the project focuses on process and perception. It shows how waste can become a resource and how craft can continue to evolve, offering a more sustainable and meaningful way to understand material and making.
