NARCISSUS

object | 2023 | size (cm) 245 x 80 x 25  | clay, steel basin, candle, water | unique piece



While refering to the ancient myth, Narcissus deals with current topics. By transforming and combining original materials - water, earth, fire - the inexpressible becomes visible.  

Narcissus is made of 24 handmade tiles laying inside a steel basin. The tiles divide the long side into 8 - referring to the human body scheme. A white candle, as a symbol for someone how died, is placed at the third tile, the heart.
