Yu Uchida

Yu Uchida Yu Uchida

I make glass as the main material, and I use casting techniques to create ice candy as a motif. In the "cool it"series, which is a character of a white bear, it is shaped like a melted ice candy. The concept of this is a mass-consumption society that combines the pronouns of disappearing environmental protection with the "cute" that leads to Japanese pop culture. I'm trying to create contradictions and iconic works that luck in modern society.
