Summer Fruit - Cherry.
Kiln cast glass
16cm x 6cm x 8cm

This is the theme of cherry box. I give it the name ‘summer fruit’. The fruit in summer is the most beautiful, whereas it is easily decomposed and difficult to preserve. Just as youth is the most beautiful, but also the most easily proved. I try to preserve these most beautiful things in the form of glass art forever, like commemorating the passage of youth.

All my work is in a box series because I have wanted to collect various modelling chic, stylish boxes since I was young. I have a congenital temptation to collect boxes and I always hide my secrets in boxes, so I can keep the secret forever. The box has a meaning of conservation. Favourites boxes, as living collections. Whether it is empty or filled with things, it makes me happy when I look back at the past life after many years.
