“The name of the « Honda Vase » is a reference to the particular paint that we used, actually originating from the Japanese company. The vase has two surfaces, one of which has no thickness: hyper-shiny and metallic. The other surface adds depth to the hollow of the object: it’s matt, it swallows li
ght, creating a black hole. “
