The State of Ball

The State of Ball is a short film, inspired by designer Yu Dong’s very first woodworking assignment. From a simple disk, now a wooden sphere wrapped in DOYS’s waxed cowhide, Yu Dong’s woodworking project becomes the protagonist in the film. The ball is treated with a white wax finish, developing a luminous sheen through contact, which records the sphere’s interactions with its surroundings on its surface.
