Peeing Human
2024
Ceramics, Metal, Glass
... explores the interrelationship between human bodies and the spaces we inhabit, focusing on how bathrooms reflect societal shame and stigmas around our natural bodily functions. Modern bathrooms, with their sterile, white, glaring surfaces, embody our rigid understanding of hygiene, often disconnecting us from the spiritual and cleansing aspects of bodily processes.
This project reimagines peeing as not just a physical release of toxins, but a metaphorical cleansing — a way of letting go of what we hold onto, both physically and emotionally. The sculpture captures this flow through the body using materials that transition between fluid and solid states — ceramic, metal, and glass — mixing industrial and natural worlds. By embracing the cycles of our bodies and the materials around us, the work invites a reflection on the forgotten connection between the body, its natural processes, and the spaces we design to contain them.
