More
than just containers, my boxes are journeys in design and materials,
explorations in harmony of shapes, colors and textures.
The
primary purpose of art is to decorate and enhance the living environment
by drawing the attention to the beauty of objects.
For
thousands of years people have created containers adorned with art,
or are artistic in themselves.
From
a simple cup to an elegant cabinet, humans have always been attracted
to elegant containers, but unlike a paintings or sculptures, containers
also serve practical purposes beyond mere decoration.
