The story behind my vases
When I was in China last summer 05/07/2014 I had to help my girlfriends friend Ting Ting to renovate an old apartment into something new again. When I got to the apartment with my girlfriend there were no belongings or any furnitures left apart from just two small artifacts which were the two vases. These vase were a couple like the same as each other but still seem a bit different to me and they directly stared me in the face as if to say that these stand in as the old couple who once lived here in this apartment.
Memory Trace behind these vases?
whatever the old couple had to go through in their lives is recorded in these vases and its like these vases are acting as their soul and in which they left behind within the surfaces of these vases. I just had to have them and use these nice looking vases as part of my art work and luckily Ting Ting said I could keep them. These hold crucial evidence of the lifestyle that the old couple once have and is left behind within these vases, also the smell and the scratches left imbedded on these objects give the signs of the old couple.
I was more than happy to treat these couple vases as a Readymade with the remains of the old couple who departs, leaving their memorable moments left behind in these vases. these vases also tell me that no matter what we say or what we go through in life it all boils down to us being the same human beings just like the vases being the same but slightly different.
