FishBowls
2006
This project presents fifteen different pieces that explore variations of the iconic image of a fishbowl. Each piece examines a topic or suggests a solution to a different issue, as human qualities are being attributed to a fish.
Thoughtful and yet playful, FishBowls relate with Birdland and MouseTraps, two previous projects that also explore variations.
Under Candlelight tells us about candlelight floating on water for a romantic evening.
XS or XL tells us about relationships between big and small fish living together.
Dear Neighbor tells us about the delicate relationships we have with our close neighbors.
Pure Life tells us about purifying the water directly when refilling the bowl.
Chill Out / Warm Up tell us about how we can control water temperature adding hot water or ice in the small receptacle.
Russian Dolls tell us about how big the fish wants to grow. If it stays in the small bowl, the fish will keep small. If it goes to the big, it will grow.
Bottle Vase tells us about how we use objects for another purposes other than their original function.
Private Matters tell us about privacy for the fish.
Hanging From a String tells us about playfulness in an apparently threatening situation.
Do Not Piss Me Off tells us about the power to decide between the life and death of the fish.
Above Water tells us about sharing the water between the fish bowl and the plant.
Wishing Well tells us about cultural traditions related to throwing coins on wells or fountains.
