Ornamentation is a playful visual means to pursue primitive and sensual pleasure. The object’s thin wall is filled with bumpy patterns, in the hope that the record of hand movements naturally soothes the viewers. The bumpy pattern reflects not only sensory experiences but also memories of stacked years. As the traces of time fill the object’s wall, the golden bowl also contains the life of today. By observing the shape through light and shade, viewers may come to understand the shape of time through serenity.
