Drawing inspiration from Theo van Doesburg’s "Counter-Composition XV," this kiln-formed glass vessel translates the principles of geometric abstraction and dynamic asymmetry into a sculptural form. The shallow curvature enhances the interplay between structure and transparency, with the signature primary colors—red, blue, and yellow—intersecting with black and white in a rhythmic grid.

The transparent elements allow light to pass through, casting vivid reflections onto surrounding surfaces, further emphasizing the interplay of form and color. The checkered pattern, softened and distorted by the curvature of the vessel, invites the viewer to engage with shifting perspectives, where rigid geometry meets fluid movement.

This piece serves as both an artistic statement and a functional form, embodying the bold visual energy of De Stijl while embracing the tactile, luminous quality of glass.
