Shower. space intervention. 111, 1e Middellandstraat, Rotterdam. This shower room of the 1940s represented a transitional moment of identity shift, where (mostly female) employees showered, changed, and transformed from low-skilled laborers into mothers, daughters, sisters, or any passersby on the street. The COVID-19 situation connects the past and the present. Private balconies have transformed into temporary clubhouses where neighbors celebrate as a community. Bedrooms have evolved into extensions of the labor market, blurring the lines between work and leisure. Streets have become both isolation barriers and sources of embarrassment. The traditional paradigm of typology has been disrupted with temporality. The shower room is tailored into a 27185-cm2 portable costume exclusive to its temporary occupant.

All Different, All Equal. 44 found slipcase molds and 44 re-casts. This work reflects the struggles faced by artisans due to the sharp shift from ancient monarchy to communist reformation in the 1940s and the subsequent integration into the world market economy in the 1990s. China, a country renowned for its quality and age-old crafts, then grapples with the cultural gap exacerbated by the abundance of mass-produced ‘Shanzhai’ objects. Jingdezhen, the capital of sophisticated porcelain for over 1,700 years, is now filled with abandoned factories and artisans struggling to redefine their practice.
