Multiple solid woods — each carrying distinct histories of growth, grain, and rate of change — are integrated without homogenisation into a single three-dimensional structure. The series reinterprets traditional Japanese joinery concepts through contemporary precision fabrication, arriving at a state where different identities coexist (Coexist) within the daily act of eating.

The work is not oriented toward a finished state, but toward one that continues to stabilise while quietly changing through use over time.
