zen no ma | SUI
zen no ma｜SUI
stillness held in form
Ripples spreading across the surface of water.
Born from the smallest movement,
they overlap and travel quietly outwards.
Breath, thought, the space between us.
What we cannot see
continues to resonate,
always shifting, always changing.
The world breathes in a shared rhythm.
Opening from within,
moving outwards,
then returning quietly to ourselves.
Water and ripples.
In them, we sensed
the subtle movement of life itself.
From this feeling came SUI,
a series of glass vessels.
Together with glass artist Kazuhiro Hayashi,
we explored its form through a process
of experimentation and refinement.
Small bubbles held within the glass.
Expressions that change with the light.
A smooth surface,
a reassuring weight in the hand.
To hold incense.
To serve a small sweet.
Or simply to be left as it is.
Without prescribing a single purpose,
each piece finds its place in everyday life.
An invitation to notice
the quiet movement within what surrounds us.
