Even ‘ashes’ want to be something.
It has been four years since I reconsidered the possibility of ‘ashes’ for a traditional industry of paper-making.
Before the end of 2018, the chairman of CHP invited me to the factory in the eastern Taiwan to rethink the environmental design. On the way head to the site, he explained the matter of ‘ashes’ produced in the process of paper making. I was watching the road at that moment and responded him that sentence: ’even ashes want to be something’ . And then I stared to work with ‘ashes’ through architectural design to prove it.
I couldn’t take photos of my works because of the stories behind the physical construction. The possibility of ‘ashes’ came true through the corporations from workers by the end of 2022. I luckily played the dream-maker as well as the dreamer used to be.
More stories to share, to continue.
Appreciate the beautiful sight shared from the key member of CHP.
