Alone Coffee, 2023
Medium: clay, film (00:18:50)
Ceramic + Video Installation
The video captures a ritualistic act of sipping coffee from a deliberately dysfunctional cup. Crafted to defy conventional functionality, the cup transforms into a seesaw upon filling, its weight ensuring a balance that guarantees spills. Adding to the challenge, the cup's handle is utterly useless. The auditory backdrop of the video features a blend of recorded sounds of the ritual and snippets of music from diverse artists like Harry Styles, Cookie Kawaii, and Harry Nilsson. These musical elements bring forth expressions that delve into themes of healing, self-perception, and the transcendent ability to surpass the constraints of time itself.
