ABOUT THE EXHIBITED OBJECT
Bulky Vase
The Bulky vase, bold in appearance yet refined in its details, unites weight with elegance. Crafted from ceramic using 3D printing, its three stacked forms evoke a quiet, architectural rhythm. Its surface is adorned with an artistically shaped, knitted-like texture, whose details capture and reflect light differently throughout the day, giving the piece a subtly shifting presence. During the unique 3D-printing process, the clay coils gently settle into place under the influence of gravity, creating natural curves that lend the vase its organic, flowing character.
