2024
Silver plated metal 
D 550 x 240 mm

This spherical vase, characterized by a hollow body forged in silver metal, exemplifies meticulous artisanal work. Shaped on the lathe and then hand-assembled by master silversmith Nicolas Marischael, its outer surface undergoes careful welding and polishing until it achieves a flawless reflective finish.

At the core of this vase lies a toric opening, unveiling its concave geometry designed to hold sacred water. Whether positioned upright or suspended, the oceanic vase immerses the observer in a captivating sensory world with dual perspectives. The outer face reflects an abstract rendition of the surrounding world, while its interior invites introspection . A monumental self-regulating object where energy flows uninterrupted to amplify the beauty of the evanescent world.
