Artist Statement
Mercury Vase explores the tension between geometry and fluidity. The piece begins as a rigid cubic form, but its surfaces behave like moving liquid — folding and stretching the surrounding environment into distorted fragments of light. The subtle twist running through the body disrupts symmetry and introduces motion, transforming a functional object into an optical event.
The work reflects the artist’s ongoing research into “controlled chaos”: sculptural objects that remain architectural while embodying the unpredictable nature of liquid metal.
1/1 Installation
This vase is adaptable to interior environments — placed on a pedestal, console table, or integrated within contemporary domestic spaces. Its reflective geometry interacts strongly with warm or directional lighting.
Recommended placement: single spotlight or natural light source from one side to enhance surface distortion.
Dimensions: 300 × 300 × 600 mm
Material: Gr316L Stainless Steel
