Description
Echoes of Form began as a functional vessel, designed to contain, yet now stands empty. Through hand-piercing its surface, it evolves from utility to art, its perforations creating a delicate interplay of light, shadow, and space. The vessel’s transformation speaks to the fragility of purpose and the impermanence of what is contained. Emptied of function this piece challenges the idea that value lies in utility alone, inviting the viewer to reconsider purpose and find significance beyond function.
