"For me function and beauty have always gone hand in hand. The beauty is in the making of the object, the shirt on your back, the plate you eat from, even the mode of conveyance in which you choose to travel. In modern society we have neglected the beauty aspect by mass producing objects and allowing the general public to be blissfully ignorant from production to waste. As the wide-ranging physical impact of this ignorance continues to show up in our daily lives, I aim to demonstrate the simple beauty of everyday objects and the impact that the change form ignorance can achieve."
