The series of vases «Dis/advantages " is the result of a study of the theme of beauty in imperfection.
The original shape of the vessel is easily read in each object, but the lost fragments prompt questions: «Why such an object, does it have a purpose or is it an unnecessary piece of something?». Each vase in this series is created on the verge of functionality, that is, only the person himself can give the object meaning by putting a plant in it. Without a flower, the object is just a wreck.
We can see the beauty of imperfection, but it happens through acceptance of ourselves and the world around us. At the same time, it is the missing parts that make each item unique. They do not deprive the object of its function, but rather emphasize it, since we can see what is usually hidden from the eyes — the inner volume of the vase and the line of the stem.
