An exhibition by Audrey Huang, Sarah Kai & Haruka Kojima
What do everyday objects and materials say about you?
OBJECTS circles around this premise. Gathering students and alumni from the UAL community, we invite participants on a journey of the mundane.
Everyday objects carry memories, identities, and experiences. They are a reflection of their owners and travelers themselves, as they move between people, places, and contexts. A familiar object might hold the warmth of a distant home, the remnants of a forgotten routine, or the quiet traces of a life lived elsewhere. Through use, displacement, and transformation, these objects accumulate stories, shedding old meanings and taking on new ones along the way.
What happens when we look at the familiar differently? OBJECTS explores this theme through reinterpretation–whether reimagining, reinventing, recycling, or more–to reconsider the mundane as a site of possibility, where personal histories meet collective experience to make new meanings.
In a city where we are constantly surrounded by others thanks to the optic fibres that run across town, yet often struggle to feel personal connection, perhaps the smallest things can bring us closer. The objects we carry, keep, and leave behind become points of departure for conversations that might otherwise never happen. Through storytelling and material transformation, participants make visible the invisible threads between memory and identity, familiarity and estrangement, the self and the other.
Beyond the objects themselves, OBJECTS seeks to create a space for gathering: a temporary third space, a home between homes, and a pause within the city's restless rhythms. As if looking into a diary, we are invited to slow down, to look more closely, to listen, and to share the stories embedded in the material world around us.
As an object passes from one context to another, its story changes. And so do we. Situating somewhere between a personal diary and a collective field note on the ordinary things that surround us, OBJECTS asks how we might reimagine our relationships with the city, with one another, and with the spaces we come to call our own.

About us
OBJECTS is a group exhibition curated and organised by Audrey Huang, Sarah Kai, and Haruka Kojima. Having known one another for over eight years in Japan, the three creative practitioners reunite in London as part of the UAL community. OBJECTS reflects on what we have learned and what we value in the course of our diverse studies, as well as how we intend to bring these experiences forward to shape our individual and collective growth. Our shared values are rooted in appreciating our everyday, complex connections to people, places, and ideas around us, putting sustainability, internationality, and inclusive collaboration into curatorial and design practice.
