"Product Recall" is an artwork that seeks to explore human behavior through consciousness. The title of this work refers to when a company or manufacturer requests consumers to return a purchased product due to a flaw that jeopardizes its integrity.
This piece was created from the concept of finding beauty within imperfection. In its serene state, "Product Recall" manifests as a peaceful being endowed with the constant ability to write poetry. However, like a flawed species, its functionality is disrupted upon detecting the presence of a human. "Product Recall" cannot create positive interactions with others, leading to negative communication and relationships with observers. Instead of generating poetry, it transmits hurtful words, both to itself and to those nearby.
"Product Recall" mirrors human behavior in various situations, prompting reflection on these reactions from both personal and external perspectives. Similarly, the artwork invites scrutiny of the human species as a whole. Despite the capacity to create conditions for positive outcomes and better futures, humans frequently exhibit their species' flaws through decisions that hinder development and potential harmony, contributing to the current state of the world.
