Eugene Tsai aspires to make something romantic out of something utilitarian. He often employs poetic phrases which evoke a sentiment that is universal but captures his memories of love, loss and hope. Can a bag made with strings be called ‘Don’t they catch butterflies?’. Or should a cast of a broken crab claw be called ‘Always’? Is ‘Harness’ a key chain? or is it a belt? or is it a necklace? The answer is yes .. and no and maybe, because these strikingly unique, often enigmatic, and sometimes difficult to understand accessories defy simple explanations. They are tools for personal expression which need to be learned and adored. They invite exploration and reverie, like a song which carries the heart to vaguer regions of uncertainty and inspiration.
