Shade Vase
Project at ECAL
material:
wild cherry, rice paper, brass
cooperator :

Like when a woman's face is masked by a veil, covering something beautiful can draw our attention to it and help bring out the beauty possessed by that object.
This flower vase’s design is influenced by “shoji” doors often seen in traditional Japanese houses, and contains a wooden frame affixed to partially transparent Japanese paper that creates a beautiful scene using the flower’s shadow.
When placing this flower vase on a windowsill, sunlight coming in from the outside projects the flower's shadow upon the paper.
女性の顔を覆うベールのように、美しいものをあえて隠すことは私たちの興味を引きつけその美をさらに引き立たせます。
外光を室内へ柔らかく取り込む障子から着想を得た花瓶です。
窓際に置かれた花瓶は、外から差し込む日の光によって花の影を紙の上に写し出し、時間の移ろいを私たちに見せてくれます。
