As an object maker, Son’s foremost intentions are to produce “ordinary” work to the “ordinary” world.

I want nothing more than my works to be appreciated for what they are. But more importantly, used without difficulties.

I do not expect my works to be cherished in a closed cabinet-display and therefore, allowing it to be part of this world,

successfully surviving through the means of a small-batch production justifies what I am trying so hard to do with my work practice.
