Metaphor Table

Metaphor

This project is poking fun at itself while raising social awareness about gender equality. Specifically, it uses a metaphor that springs from sumo, one of the most male-dominated sports in Japanese society. Women are not allowed to compete professionally in this sport given sexist rules, which border them outside the wrestling ring as a result of their "impurity" by reason of the menstrual blood.

The result was delicately made to balance between the comfort and the idea of breath. The use of the brass rods was not only for stabilization but also to deliver visual diversity to the design; it highlights the negative space made by two flowing curves with different linearity for the space to breath.
