About Etern Ipu Waina Ringihanga

Ko Etern he ipu karaehe kua hangaia mō te ringihanga waina i te tēpu kai. Ko te āhua o Etern i ahu mai i te whakaaro mō te poka o te wā, ā, ko te ahotea piko e whakaatu ana i ia wā hei kongakonga motuhake o te mutunga kore. Ka whakamahia te karaehe mō tōna āhua whakaata, e whakakite ana i te tae o te waina me te āhua māmā o te oko i te wā e ringihia ana. I te ringihanga o te waina, ka rere te hau i roto i te wai, ā, ka whakahaurangitia. Ka hangaia a Etern mā te pupuhi karaehe, ā, i whakawhanakehia tētahi tukanga ritenga motuhake kia rite ki te hoahoa. Ko te whakaaro mō tēnei taonga, hei kōrero marino mō te tēpu.

Production Technology: Etern is glassware for wine decanting. Glass material for its transparent properties in showing the beauty of wine and the airiness of form while decanting.
Design Challenge: Challenge with Etern is the philosophical and harmonious representations of time intersecting with glass blowing. A custom barrier and crust is created to match the design.
Research: On a macro perspective, the greatest moments of the planet and life's work, reside on one particle in the universe. Every moment is solidified in the cross-sections of time. Through harmonious elegance, Etern celebrates moments in time as eternity and gracefully performs the arts of decanting. Scholarly inspirations from philosophy, astronomy, and literature on impermanence have been researched for Etern. A graceful and celebrating combination of decanting.
Inspiration: Each flower that grows and withered away, is eternal in its own fragment of time. The Etern decanter is inspired by the fragment of time. It celebrates moments as an eternal fragment in life, inspiring people to feast and cherish moments of remembrance. The elegant contour of Etern is a statement piece that represents the cross-section of time and viewing each special moment as its own eternity. One eternal moment is forever.
Project Duration: Project duration from May 2021 to Nov 2021, in Los Angeles, California, USA.
Operation Flow: As wine is poured into Etern, a delightful chorus of air breathing into wine sings a beautiful melody. Etern is about having a drink with the uncapturable time, but feasting on each special moment as its own eternity in time.
