Mok is captivated by the visually stunning appearance of 3D printed ceramics, mesmerized by the magic of how clay being extruded layer by layer, gradually forming a larger structure. Drawing inspirations from intricate fractal patterns in the nature, he creates highly detailed digital models that are materilised into fired stoneware through a 3D clay printer. This process allows him to explore the evolving role of ceramists in the digital realm and the potential of digital ceramics.
