With DEAD vase, the need for utility in a vase is superseded by a decadent voluptuous form created by deliberately exaggerating pitfalls of ceramic production. The creation of a partial vacuum inside the piece during the making process causes uncontrollable folds and ruptures by which means the piece forms itself in an ever unique way.
