Statement

Intentional conflicts and the cultivation of connections are the "design elements" that I frequently incorporate into my MA projects. In an era of growing societal divisions, it seems important to reassess how the interplay between "conflict" and "connection" has influenced our thoughts and behaviors. Consequently, I am trying to explore this trend and its potential implications through my work.

Disobedience objects

(Prototype) Here is a coffee table. Most of the time, it can support your cup for you, but occasionally, it may not feel inclined to do so.
And it has lowered. You can either wait for it to rise up again or bend down to pick up the coffee.
(work in progress) After reorganizing my thoughts, I decided to use a chair as the vessel for my concept. with all these components embedded, it now has the ability to gain the percept of people's approaching and decide if it wants to be seated by people. so sometimes, it may evade you from seating on it.
In this case, you can resort to something violent – just like dealing with an old TV – hit it, punch it, and let it know your urgent appeal and your dominance. And it may stop from disobeying you.
In order to fulfill this function, I designed multiple "touchpoints" that allow users to commit "controllable" violence to this product.
The possible final appearance of this product.

Spill the coffee

This is a piece of public furniture that incorporates two seats and two coffee tables. Movement of any seat or table will be reflected to the side, causing coffee to spill. To prevent this, users will need to interact with each other and be and be aware of their drastic movements.
