Moment Series
The heirloom porcelains that make up the work carry the traces of history to the present, while the sculpted glass represents a frozen moment and timelessness. The fact that the glass in antique cups is shaped like it is when a liquid splashes brings together a snapshot of the fluidity with the viewer. Colored glasses preferred as transparent and opaque were selected in accordance with the structure and concept of the cup.
