Balance of craft and innovation

Yuki Nara
A direct descendant of the Ohi family, renowned for producing Ohi-yaki ceramics for over 360 years, Yuki Nara brings tradition into his artistic search for innovative forms, creating unique interior design vases. His works uniquely explore the boundaries between ceramics and architecture, with a particular focus on the dialogue between humans and nature.

A boundary is not a simple line
When I think about things, I always think about the ‘boundaries’ that surround them. In other words, I look for the space in ‘between.’ Architecture and ceramics, digital and analog, inside and outside, artificial and natural, chaos and order. It’s not something that can be clearly distinguished, like 0 and 1 in digital code, like black and white. Rather, an infinity of degrees actually exists between 0 and 1, and an infinite grading of shades exist between black and white.
