Echo is a reflection on the balance between destruction and refinement. The burning of the wood, a technique known as Shou Sugi Ban (焼杉板), chars and destroys, yet simultaneously reveals a new beauty and purity within the oak. In contrast, the other side of the work creates an artificial, almost intangible perfection through the use of high-gloss lacquer.
Together, these two extremes form a dialogue between raw material and human intervention. The work embodies a contract between textures and finishes, where impermanence and perfection do not exist as opposites but as complementary forces that create a unified whole.
The burnt wood bears traces of decay and transformation, while the lacquered wood reflects humanity’s desire for control and perfection. Both are deep black—yet where one absorbs light, the other reflects it. This interplay creates a dynamic tension of shadow and reflection, constantly shifting depending on the viewer’s perspective and the light within the space.
