“Shining Moon” is an exploration of form shaped by the purest language of the circle — a structural experiment in how the heart responds to its surroundings.
The entire form flows from a single curve, connecting the spout, body, and handle, merging void and solidity, tension and flow. The shape, like a full moon, is simple yet taut with energy. The pot narrows then expands, embodying an internal balance that turns the act of tea-pouring into an elegant, natural motion.
Here, engineering precision enables a soft poetic context. The handle, echoing the arc of the moon, loops back to create a self-contained circular world. It’s no longer just an appendage but a new spatial order. The teapot becomes a heterotopia — offering unfamiliar perspectives within familiar objects — and a gentle companion that offers calm, stability, and self-possession with every touch.
When placed beside its cup, the continuity of form and proportion speaks of cosmic rhythm and inner harmony. The curvature is not ornamental but a guide for the mind — a quiet strength born of structure, a serenity expressed through form.
“Shining Moon” does not seek dazzling light and shadow. Instead, it reveals the quiet assurance found in constancy of shape. It reminds us that true brightness does not shine from outside, but arises from clarity of the heart. Within this perfect, minimal circle, tea and breath, body and mood, find their place — a graceful, self-sufficient presence within the heterotopia of urban life.
