SPIKY EIGHT 0621-XLⅠ

The SPIKY series deliberately approaches today's flattened way of seeing things with a sense of the foreign. Among these works, this piece is made as an octagonal tumbler.
A luxurious piece using white porcelain, gold, and platinum, with eight facets that let you enjoy a variety of expressions.

Its form seems almost to refuse being picked up.
The "studs" jutting out from the vessel make visible and tangible a force inherently latent within an object. The result is a powerful expression, as if the hidden strength within had burst out onto the surface.

Ceramics, a traditional craft nurtured over a long history. Koga intends, by introducing a stimulus in form, to give the person holding it a fresh sense of surprise.
