Soap is a material we think we know well. It seems to have a single function, almost always the same form.
Here, soap is removed from its familiar context.
Soap replaces the materials of everyday objects.
Things we recognize from daily life suddenly lose their usual function.
Absurd, humorous objects emerge. They irritate. They make no sense.
Our everyday life is full of things we create to make life easier, faster, more efficient.
We buy them, use them, pass them on.
Yet once an object has fulfilled its purpose, it begins to take on a life of its own.
It accompanies us. It remains, even when we are long gone.
Objects are transient to us because we ourselves are transient.
The contrast between what endures and what quietly dissolves reminds us that nothing belongs to us forever.
