I am Relife Composition No.2. Parts of me were bursting and shattering with excitement but I pulled them together and contained myself.
This composition is part of Factory Zoomer’s exploration into the life cycle of her products as part of the Relife series. This program invites her clients to return broken items that are combined with the studio’s failed or broken works to create an item of new value. The weight of the items stacked on one side equals the weight of the Reclaimed Blue piece on the other side. Kazumi Tsuji takes the concept a step further by transforming the broken pieces into commonly perceived valuable items such as gemstones or by drawing on classic forms from porcelain-ware originating from the Lee or Qing dynasties in China. As with all of Kazumi Tsuji’s works, the pieces can be enjoyed for daily-use tableware or as a wall hanging.
