KIME shelf "Visualization of human "hands"

DIG/PAINT/DRAW by Kairo Kusamoto, Materials: Styrofoam, Acrylic paint, oil paint, lacquer.

“In this design, I considered a lump of styrofoam, which is uniformly produced by machines and has not been touched by human hands, as a symbolic object. Using Styrofoam, I attempted to visualize the characteristics of the human hand that do not appear in machine production.

I used the act of "digging and scraping" as a method of molding. The method of "drawing and painting" was used as an act of finishing, expression, and decoration in manufacturing. The analog digging of styrofoam was presented by comparing the dug and undug portions. And the hole has a distorted shape.

This design object is an attempt to increase the production process and visualize the "consumption of time" by applying multiple layers of paint and using multiple colors. The "consumption of time" means that the creator is consuming life through the act of creation. In addition, I tried to visualize the "individuality" and "desire" of human beings in that they are aware of the color scheme and painting method even if there are no rules.”
