Real value and meaning in my point of view are always connected with Necessity (fate for instance), transitory ness (an endless life would be less valuable then a mortal one), and number (like limited editions). I developed the first transitory mass production method. A production process is liable to erosion and in fact has a course of life too. In my point of view it will be the ultimate limited edition if a mould erodes until a course of life appears in the form and dies if the reproductions are not functional anymore. In this way it is a mass product with a limit in the production process itself, therefore it is not possible to make more reproductions than the process can handle. This is a series of vases that will bloom, wither and die as the flowers it will bear.
