The “Wire-Mesh Tea Ceremony Room” is an attempt to reconstruct the traditional space of a tea room using diamond-shaped wire mesh, an industrial material.
Layering the wire mesh multiple times creates a visual interference known as “moiré,” giving rise to a shimmering space of “light mist” where tranquility and dynamism coexist.
Depending on the viewer's position and angle of sight, the three-dimensional overlapping of the wire mesh changes. Transmitted and reflected light complexly interfere and resonate with each other as they circulate through the space, creating organic and mystical layers of light. Depending on the viewing angle, the light changes dynamically or subtly, allowing one to feel the rich expressions created by the resulting sparkle and shadows, revealing diverse, shifting states of light.
The tea room space originated as a small, enclosed universe, a “enclosure.” A place to purify the spirit and sharpen the senses.
Inheriting this primordial concept, the “Space of Wire Mesh (MA)”—woven from layers of light through wire mesh—contains a mystical radiance and profound depth, allowing the coexistence of silence and a dynamic visual experience. It aims to realize a spatial apparatus that, while enclosed, remains infinitely open, transcending material boundaries to unleash people's creativity and sensibility.
