These hand-built porcelain vessels transform the traditional vase into a three-dimensional portrait of contemporary life. one vessel focuses on the positive messages we give ourselves like be kind and the second vessel relates all the negative thoughts we have about ourselves and others.
Illustrated in cobalt blue and punctuated with gold lustre, each face is paired with words like Stay Focused, Be Considerate, Give a Little Slack, Be a Mensch, or Keyboard Warrior, Armchair Socialist, Clown, Idiot and Plonker.
Humour emerges through the collision of encouragement, criticism and digital-age language, reflecting the inner dialogue we all experience. As viewers move around the vessel, portraits and words combine into unexpected narratives that question identity, empathy and judgement, inviting reflection on how we see ourselves and others, both online and offline.
