Work Statement:

Every day we eat, usually three times a day. Throughout the meal, our senses are stimulated, but the sense of hearing is frequently neglected.
This project starts with these small details: the sound of tableware. It creates a narrative environment from the interplay of material and sound.
Through the interactions with the sounding tableware, a unique dining experience is created that encourages us to rethink our relationship to
objects and our etiquette at the table.
"Phonatable" is a compound word that emphasizes its narrative qualities.
The adjective phonatable refers to a table with tableware that can be perceived as sound.
我们每天都要吃饭，通常一天三次。在整个用餐过程中，我们的感官都会受到刺激，但听觉却经常被忽视。
这个项目就从这些小细节入手：餐具的声音。它从材料和声音的相互作用中创造了一个叙事环境。
通过与发声餐具的互动，创造出一种独特的用餐体验，鼓励我们重新思考我们与物品的关系以及我们和餐桌礼仪的关系。
"Phonatable "是一个复合词，强调其叙事性。
形容词 Phonatable 指的是餐桌上的餐具可以被感知为声音。

Absent Gallery 闲聊

Absent Gallery:
How would you describe your creative state?
你会如何讲述自己的创作状态?

Yanshan：
个人创作的灵感主要来自于对于生活细节的观察、思考以及联想;创作的动力源于一些感悟、倾诉和祈求共情的欲望。我的创作状态像是一个橡胶皮包裹着的黑洞，可以大概感受到它的形状，又深不⻅底。当我去拥抱挤压它的时候，既能感受到有弹性的反作用力，又被逐渐消解，然后在某个时间会突然蹦出一些物质。
The inspiration for my personal creation mainly comes from observation, thinking and association with the details of life; the motivation for creation comes from some realisations, confessions and the desire to pray for empathy. My creative state is like a black hole wrapped in rubber skin, whose shape can be roughly felt, but whose depth is unknown. When I embrace it and squeeze it, I can feel the elasticity of the reaction force, but it is also gradually dissolved, and then at some time, some substances will suddenly pop out.

Absent Gallery:
