This series is an imaginative reinterpretation of traditional Japanese yakitori, transforming it into a futuristic, candy-like vision. It blends the warmth and familiarity of a cultural staple with an unexpected, playful twist, resulting in a visual experience that feels fresh yet rooted in tradition.
The work explores the relationship between surface, material, and form through cloth simulation techniques. By experimenting with fabric-like textures and fluid shapes, it creates a tactile, almost otherworldly quality that redefines how we perceive these familiar elements. The result is a study in contrast: soft yet structured, traditional yet futuristic.
More than just an aesthetic exercise, this project reflects a deeper fascination with the intersection of tradition and innovation. It’s an exploration of how cultural motifs can evolve into something unexpected while retaining their essence.
This series invites viewers to engage with the possibilities of transformation—how something simple, like a skewer of grilled food, can become an entirely new visual language. It’s a fun, thoughtful expression of curiosity and experimentation.
