Inefficient Vase

The holes are taking away the function of the vase. Therefore, more attention is given on what’s lacking than on what is there. This product has lost its functionality and is obviously inefficient. It’s the owner’s decision to fix it with corks or other suitable things, to fulfil its purpose as a vase, or to leave it as a sculptural object. The deliberate destruction of functionality opens another layer of questioning the classifications of artefacts.
Every Vase is handmade, with different amount of holes, numbered and signed.
