Description

I was inspired by the idea of a work of art (perhaps after a shipwreck) would have sunk to the bottom of the seas.  It would have waited for centuries, alone, gradually covered by algae and shellfish, taking on the colours of the waters surrounding it.  It is a work of both sadness and poetry. The poetry and sadness of lost objects, forsaken by all, on which time, slowly, leaves its marks. The work also hovers around the idea of the deep seas, marine depths, underwater chasm, which have always frightened me, but are tinged with romanticism. – Makiko Hicher

The bud green and grey vase is the smallest vase shown to the right.
