Who did you call a jar?

Paper and concrete vases
Made for the exhibition “Who did you call a jar?” in Periscope gallery.
A group exhibition of the new graduates of class 2001 from the industrial design department in Bezalel Academy.
Paper vases:
Folded paper treated with polyester and silicone. When I was a child in school, we used to fold the paper box shape, fill it with water and throw it at each other. I felt it is a good reference for an end of school exhibition. During the work process, I found the pyramid shape option, and experimented with decorated wrapping paper.
Concrete vases:
Materials: Anti seepage treated concrete, metal, spray paint
Where I lived, there were some buildings with concrete columns protruding from their roofs with metal bare sticking out – a preparation for the continued building that never happened.
I experimented with decorating the concrete with floral indentations and with elements from local graffiti spray painted on the concrete.
