hera song
(b. 2001, los angeles, ca)
with clay, clothes, and the credence of solitude,
my subconscious thoughts sketch theirselves into youthful, sensual worlds.
i am motivated by a long-standing fascination with the emotional lives assigned to the scene of cartoons, where tiny, glossy, perfectly repeated characters populate shelves from the commercial fuel of blind box unboxing regimes.
my ceramic production reflects on the tension between the comfort installed in cartoon figurines and their underlying sameness, reclaiming figurine narratives from the logic of anti-replication and the subcultural upperhand of fashion. 🧤
