Symbiosis
An ancient Japanese legend, and the unique art style it inspired, served as the main basis of my work. My piece is a concrete-porcelain bowl, its main focus the blending of the two materials' properties. The base is a porcelain bowl with a diameter of 33 cm, surrounded by an 18.5 cm thick concrete shell. After firing, the bowl was deliberately broken, and filled with concrete. The concrete followed the contours of the porcelain perfectly, the two materials complementing each other, forming a unique symbiosis, where they can only fulfil their intended function together.
