I am trying to find out the fragile and dark side of food that is usually forgotten by food designers. Competition and Relic reflects a competed relationship of food. The whole piece is showing a process that food and food, food and clay absorb water mutually.I would like to ask a question about the people’s relationship with each other through this work. How do human beings survive on this planet? How do we compete and co-exist together. I chose food as a perfect media, since every kind of fruit or vegetable could be on behalf of a person. From the whole process that the food rotted in the clay, we can comprehend how people struggle in the society. Even though the result is all food died and we just have a “relic” to commemorate this clay battle of food. Analogically, if people consume the limited resources on the earth out of control, what shall we leave for our kids’ kids?
