About Infinity Vessel Draagbare Kunstkroon

Infinity Vessel is een glazen kroon gecreëerd als draagbare kunst. Elke kroon wordt op maat gemaakt, zodat deze alleen past op het hoofd van één drager. Een 3D-scan legt de exacte vorm van het hoofd vast, waarna de kroon wordt gevormd uit mondgeblazen glas volgens traditionele methoden. Elk exemplaar draagt zijn eigen kenmerken. De gemiddelde afmeting is 25 x 25 x 25 cm. Er is gekozen voor glas vanwege zijn breekbaarheid en kracht, en vanwege de manier waarop licht door het materiaal valt. De kroon weerspiegelt de individualiteit van de persoon die hem draagt.
