“Yesterday Once more” is inspired by Carpenters album Now & Then which released by A & M studio in 1973. Our founder JJ Chuan transformed obsolete materials - cassette tapes into a new artistic medium, with an innovative weaving techniques. Chuan challenges perceptions of waste while opening conversations on value, memory and sustainability.
As a music composer and lyricist, she creatively combines her music talent into her artwork where each piece of her artwork comes with her music demo that inspired by the music from the cassette tapes when she weaves. Collectors would be able to access her music demo and feel a multisensory experience that she preserved.
This fusion of past and present, heritage and contemporary art, material and sound, weaves a compelling narrative of cultural continuity and environmental responsibility.
Her new collection “Yesterday Once More” is a modular art piece where she invite collector to arrange the art pieces based on their own space and taste. This collection could be display as a whole or individually stand alone.
