About The Artwork
the Vase stands as a testament to the fusion of antiquity and modernity, a captivating blend conceived in the crucible of inspiration. Ceramicist Eric Russell's pilgrimage to Machu Picchu serves as the genesis of this masterpiece, infusing it with a profound sense of historical resonance. Here, amidst the crumbled stones of ancient civilizations, one cannot help but sense the weight of time, the whispers of bygone eras longing to be heard. Yet, it is in the juxtaposition of epochs that the true essence of this sculpture emerges — an interplay of enduring legacy set against the ever-shifting canvas of contemporary art and pop culture. Through the intricate decoupage of found images, each fragment a relic of our modern zeitgeist, the vessel becomes a mirror reflecting the intricacies of our collective human journey. David Lachapelle's photography, with its masterful blend of artistry and irreverence, injects the piece with an animated vitality, challenging us to confront the contradictions of our age. Faux pearls and colored glass beads, adorning its surface with whimsical opulence, serve as a playful nod to the extravagance of times past. In its form, the Macchu Picchu vase becomes a prism through which we glimpse the mosaic of human experience —a canvas upon which the narratives of ancient wisdom and contemporary fervor intertwine. It is a profound invitation to ponder our quest for meaning and significance amidst the flux of an ever-changing world — a challenge laid bare by the hand of the artist, beckoning us to embrace the contradictions that define our humanity.

My work is deeply rooted and influenced by the rich tradition of Hanakotoba (花言葉), the Japanese language of flowers. Drawing inspiration from this centuries-old practice, I seek to imbue my abstract paintings with layers of meaning and emotion, creating a visual dialogue that resonates with viewers on a profound level. Informed by my background in mixed media and a keen understanding of color theory, I explore the symbolic significance of flowers as a means of communication. Each brushstroke, texture, and hue is carefully chosen to convey a specific sentiment or message, allowing the viewer to interpret the work in their own unique way. Through my art, I aim to create moments of connection and contemplation, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on the beauty and complexity of the natural world. Whether evoking feelings of love, gratitude, or resilience, my paintings serve as a mirror to the human experience, offering a glimpse into the universal language of the heart. In essence, my work is a celebration of the power of art to transcend language and culture, uniting us in our shared humanity. By engaging with the vocabulary of Hanakotoba, I hope to inspire others to see the world with fresh eyes and to find beauty and meaning in the most unexpected places.
