Fictional character who would own your work: "This is a hard question! The character that comes to mind is Monsieur Hulot from Jacques Tati’s 1958 film Mon Oncle. Monsieur Hulot is perplexed by postwar France’s fascination with technology-driven modernity, consumerism, and efficiency. Within the framework of modernity, Hulot struggles with both uniformity and an absence of human connection. While our work frequently draws from modernism in both form and function, we use materials, production methods, and proportions to establish a unique and very human tone."
