The teapot symbolizes the precarious balance of life that seeks a point of stability, the vase the simplicity of beauty. The cup is the man born from the explosion of the stars who must fill and enrich himself with experience and knowledge during life.
Partecipazione Matres
Performance installation on the importance of artistic / craft work and focused on years of research in the world of ceramics. Protagonist is the one who chooses whether to drink tea in my company while talking about ceramic in a handmade cup or in an industrial cup. The title “The choice” implies the will to bring to life and welcome a work born of ingenuity handcrafted rather than an industrial design piece. Unique imperfect or standardized perfection?
