BỒI
Archive

A collection of surfaces formed through layers of different clays, where each pattern emerges from cutting, pressing, layering and shifting the material. No two surfaces are ever repeated; each carries its own rhythm — at times orderly, at times fractured, at times dissolving into almost indeterminate forms.

BỒI begins with observations of landscapes shaped by water: riverbanks, alluvial deposits, receding waterlines, and layers of earth continuously built up and disturbed over time. Rather than depicting these scenes directly, the archive translates them into an abstract language through mixed clay and the nerikomi technique.

Each piece therefore exists as both a functional object and a small fragment of landscape preserved in clay.
