TEA

so here we go. trying to find out the connection between tea and this environment. and how does that inform the materiality, structure and form of "THE PLACE" for one person to eat.
the first thought i have is OUT OF PLACE. this glass of tea doesnt belong in the environment. Studio is busy, exhausting and noisy. The work of all contriubute to make this studio environment. while tea moves slowly and quietly. it unfolds itself to give flavor/color to the environment it exists(glass+water). It colors the glass of water no mater how restless the background is. Its serenity belongs to its own. Then attained by the person that drinks it.
The view point is odd too, but i like that its placed on ground instead of on table.
Out of place as it is, it is imposed by the environment. The glass, instead of being fine crafted ceramic tea cup is mass produced object provides barely any  intimacy or doesnt enhance the flavour of tea or the experience of drinking tea. Noting that there's a difference between tea made with metal pot or ceramic pot. If anybody noticed, i used a plastic water boiler to add water to the glass. and this..except that it provides hot water to make tea, is just a cheesy way to do it. but this is college culture. RESTLESS and FAST i will call it.
College culture is, as well, individuality. but in this case i think it's compromised individuality. Individuals find the group of peole that they feel comfortable with. A group that accept them, not with exactly who they are, but by somewhat changing them.
TEA is liberty. I am not exactly sure why yet...but the American Revolutionary War starts over a cup of tea. While tea is more of a british thing ( after they stole it from Asians :)). i might need to look more into it.
so ...What does this mean to THE PLACE? It owns serenity that's contained to itself but also carried by people visiting it. It's a independent individuality, while being imposed on.
and more, i will tell you later.
WHEEEE!!!~~~~ :D
