Wabi-Vase 13

Elegant minimalistic object-design vase from the collection "Wabi-Vases" made by Lesia Danilina (Turkey).
A minimalist collection of handmade vases defined by simplicity, harmony, and balance between textures, shapes, and color. The vases are handmade and have no repeats. Each vase in this series is unique and numbered. I was inspired to create this vase series by the aesthetics of the Japanese wabi-sabi concept. According to this concept, greatness lives in small details and beauty can be part of imperfection. Wabi-sabi reminds us of the illusory nature of permanence and perfection, the ephemerality of problems and worries. Nothing is eternal, perfect, or finished.

Work technical description:

The vases are made of clay and plaster without the aid of a potter's wheel. The outside of the vases is covered with a thick layer of acrylic and varnish. My vases are based on a used glass bottle, which refers to the issues of reuse, humanity's relationship with nature, and the role of humans in the ecosystem. It proves that it is not only possible to give a second life to ordinary things, but through the idea and work of an artisan, you can turn them into a work of art.

Materials: glass, clay, plaster, acrylic paint
