The Resistance of Rubber is a material experiment rooted in memory, ecology, and rebellion. Starting from my grandfather’s experience of planting rubber trees after war, I question the historical violence of human-centered exploitation of nature. Latex, once extracted and
disciplined, becomes a living surface that resists fragile yet persistent, both body and wound.
Rubber is reimagined as more than a resource: it is an agent, a voice, a fragile organism suspended between nature and artifice. These works do not seek to control, but to listen to let rubber breathe, stretch, and speak back. In this space, design become a site of
negotiation between memory and matter, human desire and the quiet resistance of plants.
