Title

bury : incense holder


Overview

The total pieces in the Buried incense series, where the act of burning becomes a quiet excavation.
As ash settles and smoke escapes through the cemented structure, the surface reveals the slow tension between what is buried within and what rises moment by moment.


Series Statement

The Buried incense objects expose hidden frameworks by allowing heat, ash, and time to interact with partially unveiled metal fragments.
Each piece becomes a small landscape of accumulation and erosion, inviting the viewer to observe how remnants emerge through what seemed solid, sealed, or forgotten.
