Normally, a plate is created in terms of its shape and decoration, taking into account the appropriateness of the dish, but this work is a plate (a 5-inch plate) that symbolizes anti-wabi-sabi, which in a sense rejects plating. This work is intended to encourage co-creation between the creator and the user, asking the user's imagination to decide what to put on it and how to decorate it.
Koga treats the plates as canvases, and what he draws on them are only positive words, such as "Get Stand Up," "Stay Gold," and "Silver lining," imitating graffiti. This is Koga's message to the world suffering from the coronavirus pandemic.
The studs that cover the entire piece are punk, and the graffiti is street culture, and these are all captured in the canvas of tableware, which has developed in Japanese culture.
The SPIKY series dares to approach the flat modern way of looking at things with a sense of foreignness.
Its distinctive shape is as if it refuses to be picked up.
The protrusions that spread out in a radial pattern visualize and touch the power inherent in things.
The work is a powerful expression, as if the power hidden within bursts to the surface.
Ceramics are a traditional craft that has been cultivated over a long history.
Koga intends to give a fresh surprise to the person who holds it by providing a formative stimulation to it.
