Chinese tea culture holds a profound place in both tradition and modern life, blending the art of making and savoring tea with the philosophy of life. My work as a potter is deeply inspired by this culture, particularly the interplay of Zen and tea. Through crafting tea utensils, I aim to create pieces that not only serve their purpose but also carry personal meaning and a sense of connection.
A set I made for my father embodies this philosophy, reflecting the essence of our shared love for tea. I hope my work encourages others to embrace tea culture as an integral part of daily life.
