Design concept:
Based on the habit of throwing cigarette butts into the manhole cover, a Cement ashtray in the shape of a manhole cover is made.
Description of the work:
The idea of this work is to satirize smokers who throw their cigarette butts into the roadside gutter covers. This gutter cover ashtray is made so that they can throw their cigarette butts into it and fill it up.
The work is very ornamental and more decorative than practical. Fans are welcome to buy it as a decoration. It does not have to be used for smoking. It would be a pity to use it as an ashtray.
It is recommended to place [magnolia or jasmine] in the box to spread the fragrance in the room

【The temperature of handmade】
Cement products occasionally have bubbles, small cracks, mottled marks, uneven color depth, etc. These are the characteristics of this material (some are even deliberately left by the author to retain the handmade feel). If you like perfection, please consider purchasing carefully.
【Wabi-sabi】
I took the dead banana leaves I picked up a few days ago to the studio and stuck them in a Cement basin. They are beautiful in shape and color, and their surface is mottled with decay over time, which is very interesting and often makes me stare at them in a daze.
I recall that my daughter used to help me sign up for the market (she was afraid that I would pile up too many Cement products). In the interaction with customers, most people like uniform colors, no marks, and no seams. In fact, these occasionally appear in the finished product, especially bubbles, which are produced during the mixing and pouring of Cement. It, together with the mottled Cement or the traces left over from demolding, constitutes the vitality of the work. I like it very much.
Accept and appreciate imperfection
This is also the main aesthetic of life expressed by Wabi-Sabi!
