Scene : welding metals
Weld is a verb and it means to join together (metal parts) by heating the surfaces to the point of melting with a blowpipe, electric arc, or other means, and uniting them by pressing, hammering, etc.
When welding things, there are at least two elements, and to join them, they need certain effect from outside. This also can be said when it comes to relationship between people with disabilities and society. REFREP, to be one of the such effects, is making products with people with disabilities and get ideas from their living.
溶接とは、2つの部材の接合部に熱又は圧力を加え、接合部が連続性を持ち一体化された1つの部材にする接合方法。溶接には部材Aと部材Bがあり、この二者を接合させるには高熱や高圧のような外部からの力が必要です。これは知的障がい者と社会の関係性でも同様で、この二者間を接合させるためには外部からの力が必要です。そんな力の一つになるべく、REFREPは実際に障がい者の方達と共作すること、彼らの生活からインスピレーションを受けることで接合＝融合をもたらします。
