The work considers the shelf not as a passive means of display, but as an inseparable part of the artwork. Functional serving vessels, each individually wheel-thrown, are stacked one above the other on shelves. Between them are measured gaps, yet when seen together, the eye assembles them into the image of a vase, an image that could not exist without the shelves.

A shared color palette binds the vessels into a whole, while each one maintains its individuality through distinct painting and glazing. Certain pictorial elements, such as stripes, flow from one vessel to the next, suggesting connection. In this way, color both unites and separates: it marks the vessels as belonging to the same ensemble, while at the same time emphasizing the gaps and the independence of each part.

The work shifts between function and art. Each vessel retains its practical potential, but within the installation, it no longer functions as a vessel and instead forms part of a larger structure with a different purpose. The result is an artwork made of functional objects that serve solely to create an image. The gaps are as integral as the vessels themselves. They invite the viewer to complete the absent form and suggest that wholeness is composed not only of objects, but also of the spaces between them.

The piece was conceived from a reflection on the place of contemporary ceramics between art and utility, and on the role of the shelf in transforming everyday objects into forms that call for attention and contemplation.
