A study in precision and restraint, Ancient Rings 45 embodies a clean, simple, and elegant design. Thousands of meticulously cut sheet glass pieces form a rhythmic grid of alternating opaque and translucent elements. The canvas of ivory rings serves as the framework, allowing light to weave through the vessel’s open structure, casting intricate patterns of shadow and illumination.

The vessel’s restrained palette reinforces its clarity, emphasizing subtle shifts in value rather than bold color. The interplay of gray tones in the transparent squares creates a delicate gradient, transitioning from lighter to darker as they descend toward the base. This controlled variation enhances the vessel’s depth and dimensionality, reinforcing its strong architectural presence. A singular red inlay near the bottom introduces just enough contrast to add intrigue without disrupting the overall harmony.

Every element in Ancient Rings 45 feels intentional—there is no excess, only a distilled composition that allows light, structure, and rhythm to take center stage. The repetition of the ivory rings and transparent squares creates a sense of order and clarity, while the openness of the form maintains a quiet elegance. The result is a refined balance of precision and openness, inviting contemplation of continuity, transformation, and the interplay of order and space.
