+3-1 (2024)

+3-1 is a work I created by repurposing components from my damaged infrared electronic stove. The work consists of a heating plate in an infrared stove, a functional clock, and a table for measuring tooth color.

The piece is inspired by Vietnam's current birth and mortality statistics, which are approximately 3,828 children born and 1,896 people dying on average every day.
