On an oblong porcelain base there is a multi-storey construction of small porcelains labs representing a skyscraper. During firing, the material and structure got deformed, the subtle, fragile, translucent edifice tilted. The crooked tall tower-like edifice reminds one of collapse, decay, the ephemeralness of the man-made world. It belongs to the series“Memories of the Future”.
