FORTESS WATER
A study of a vessel built around the simple task
of keeping water.
A study of a vessel built around the simple task
of keeping water.
The body is drawn as a small tower
in glazed ceramic, with a crenellated rim
and one projecting side handle.
Thick walls give the piece its weight,
while the narrow opening keeps the bouquet
gathered rather than spread.
Water sits below the parapet,
hidden from view. Flowers rise above it.
The object carries both without displaying either.
The handle grows from the cylinder
as one continuous profile.
It serves as a grip,
but also widens the silhouette,
giving the vase the presence of something
more permanent
than the stems it receives.
The piece is intended for everyday flowers
as much as for a single branch.
Empty, it remains a quiet architectural object.
Filled, its role becomes clear
without changing its form.

Like a small fortress,
it is not built to appear severe.
It is built because what it contains deserves shelter
