This piece presents a uniquely handcrafted metal fan, envisioned as a prototype that challenges and expands upon the traditional conception of daily objects.

Merging the perspectives of both designer and artist, it symbolizes a profound reevaluation of my design process, reflecting on the essence of creativity in redefining functionality with artistic expression.

This creation is not merely about reimagining a commonplace item but is deeply rooted in my personal memories of fans and their impact on my life. It serves as a dialogue between the past and present, embodying a journey that revisits the simplicity and significance of the fan in my history. By doing so, it encourages viewers to explore their relationship with the objects that surround them, recognizing the potential for innovation and beauty in the most familiar of forms.
