Fugacious Vessel III B and C
2022, copper, silverplating, goldleaf
In this project, I aim to renew the ornamentation in silversmithing by re-observing its nature of life that is retained as the "semiotic decoration”.
By subjective observing, I want to preserve the beauty of the Acanthus in its original form, with the rhythm of the dense foliage, the chips and stains.

Alder 1 (2022)
Shinta Nakajima
Brass, Silverplated

Inspired by Japanese flower arrangement is the method of enhancing the beauty of fleeting plants.
For the wall piece, I did the arrangement of Alder branches first, and from then I abstracted its existence, light and shadow, and air. I preserved only these spatial textures and impermanence in the material to visualise its truths.
This method is inspired from Impressionism as well, I wanted to describe abstractly fleeting transition of ordinary branches, Alder with preserving Japanese aesthetic, “SABI”
