Regardless if it reinforces status, adds to the personal style, or serves as a practical transport tool, we all have a relationship with the bag. This piece explores how glaze and ceramic form can challenge our expectations and perception of this everyday artifact. It developed from a deep investigation into designing glazes with connotations to materials other than ceramics.

The installation is based on the idea of the hallways’ act in a home as an intermezzo - a short dramatic, musical, or light characterful performance inserted between the acts of a drama or opera. With a scenographic view and a conceptual approach, I have explored the hallways’ components in correlation with our subconscious routines within that room. The project aims to discover everyday life choreographies with the material world and challenge the hallways’ practical tone. The wooden and ceramic objects are created with a focus on sensory experiences and particularly their sounds, which together play the hallways’ symphony.
The project was made in collaboration with choreographer and dancer Ida Kjällquist.
