A silver object that holds a link or nexus between dot and line as well as the vertical and horizontal.

Tens of thousands of hammerings and firings are antecedently required to make a silver jar 1 mm thick with a two-dimensional flat silver plate. The object produced in this way captures beauty proportional to labor. Innumerable marks engraved on the surface seem to be a metaphor for the artist’s numerous encounters or their endless relationships with things. We can hear the endlessly repeated sound of hammering from these traces connected like dots and lines, vertical and horizontal lines, or ripples. It sounds like a hand-held wooden percussion instrument a monk employs when praying or chanting.
