Ceramic sculpture created on pottery wheel depicting piled perfume bottles and defined with Nagisa’s signature porcelain Japanese katakana characters.
This sculpture is depicting eight perfume bottles, representing each of the eight emotions (joy, trust, fear, surprise, sadness, disgust, anger, and anticipation), that have fallen over together and become one.
The characters are coloured using ‘platinum-sai’ techniques first used in porcelain originating from Arita town in Saga Prefecture over 400 years ago. The white porcelain characters are coated in platinum and fired at varying temperatures to create the desired colours.
