The leftovers
Shanghai, China
Completed, 2020
The exhibition 'The Leftovers' repurposes the redundancy of objects from the designer's everyday practice, revealing the unseen side of design. As a metaphor for our daily lives, which are filled with unused objects, the title encourages a lifestyle of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. While the term "leftovers" typically refers to excess food, here it refers to anything remaining after the rest has been used or consumed, emphasizing the value of giving new life to what might otherwise be discarded.
