New Hope

The project is focused on the history of my family. I am from family of Vietnamese immigrants and I mapped the story of my parents. They came to Czechoslovakia in the 80’s. My parents decided to chage their destiny and set out for new better life. My mother was only 19 years old and my father was 22 years old. They only met here. The project described the fate of my family, who are one of thousand of Vietnamese immigrants. My goal was to create an object that would remind of the difficult conditions that my parent had to overcome in order to get here. Ceramics clothing is a reminder of the only things my mother brought here from Vietnam.

Back to the Future

One hundred years ago, an artist and professor Helena Johnová founded the studio of Ceramics and Porcelain at Academy of Arts, Architectures and Design in Prague. Over the years, the studio transformed under the leadership of the many figures in the field, but an important role also have the political and social circumstances. In 2019 was a collective exhibition of current students of the studio, which celebrated and reminded the personalities who had influenced on the formation of teaching and presented as well as other projects, which depict events in the entire study. On this occasion, the bachelor thesis attend to the representation of the possible future of the studio of Ceramics and Porcelain. The objective of this work was to create a virtual enviroment that presented a vision of what the future will be for the next hundred years. The project ideas are applied by virtual reality. The project seeks to capture the personal opinion of the technological innovation and the current state of the studio in a simulated environment. The vision included a critical view of the current situation and warnings for the future. The work offered a space for discussion about the further direction.

Times are Changing. Fragile Beauty Remains.

The porcelain factory in Horní Slavkov was the first in our territory, unfortunately its story ended in 2011 with its definitive closure. The work reflects the effort to write the story of a famous company and preserve its history into the future. Porcelain dinner set composed of old recycled pieces refers to the magnificent production of the factory. The plates are indelibly signed by the last words of the owner, who caused the factory to close.
