𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 draws inspiration from 18th-century water transport devices that prevented buckets from hitting the knees. These devices serve as a metaphor for the transportation of water, which is a fundamental element in all cosmetics. However, in this piece, water is absent and replaced by another omnipresent component of our daily lives—light. The perforations on the surfaces of the pieces allow light to fill them symbolically. This substitution emphasizes the significance of light in shaping our perception of the surrounding environment.
The incorporation of light serves as a symbolic representation of the hope that resides within each container, a hope that is generated and sustained by the consumer. Additionally, is included a satin ribbon, on which is inscribed a list of recommended actions prescribed by the manufacturers of these specific ointments. These instructions, often presented in small and difficult-to-read text, resemble stippling akin to Morse code. This encryption-like effect demands prior knowledge and understanding, shifting the focus from reading to decoding.
