Ancient Rings 78 captures a defining moment in the evolution of the series.
What began as a precise tessellated structure—thousands of small glass elements arranged in rhythm and order—begins here to shift in purpose.

The colored elements no longer behave as a neutral pattern.
They bend and flow, drawn toward the luminous circular inlays that puncture the surface.
These circles act as centers of gravity, activating the surrounding geometry and turning the vessel into a dynamic field of motion.

In this work, the vessel begins to speak from within.
Light radiates through the yellow openings, and the surrounding tessellation curves in response, hinting at the inner presence that will come to define the series.

Ancient Rings 78 stands as a transition—from ordered pattern to meaningful marquetry, where the rings hold not only the structure, but the story.
