墨芽茶倉 Ink Bud black porcelain tea storage jar

Ink Bud is a handmade black porcelain tea caddy that explores the quiet emergence of life. Its deep, dark body holds a sense of stillness and weight, while the small green sprouts emerging from the top represent life quietly beginning within that darkness.

The contrast between black and green, stillness and growth, suggests that life does not always appear in a grand or dramatic form—it can begin with something as small as a single bud.

With its rounded form resembling a seed held within time, the work transforms a functional tea caddy into an everyday object carrying a quiet symbol of hope, growth, and renewal. Each time the tea is opened and taken, it becomes a small encounter with something in the process of growing.

「墨芽」以黑瓷手工製作，沉穩的黑色器身包覆著內斂而安靜的力量，頂端細小的新芽則象徵生命在沉寂之中悄然發生。

黑與綠、沉與生形成對比，像是在提醒我們：生命不一定總以盛大的姿態出現，有時只是從一個微小的芽開始。

圓潤的器形如同一顆被時間包覆的種子，而新芽從頂端探出，象徵希望、成長與重新開始。作品將茶倉從單純的收納器物轉化為一個承載生命意象的日常物件，讓每一次取茶，都像是與一個正在生長的瞬間相遇。
