"Waiting in Cassola" is a captivating pigment print photograph of white ceramic vases, printed on Fine Art paper and mounted on dibond. Sold unframed, it includes a Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring its provenance. Part of the 'Break the Mold' project, this piece critiques mass production while honoring Nove di Bassano, Italy, the artist's grandfather's hometown. The nearly life-size print creates the illusion of the vases emerging into physical space, making a memory tangible. The empty, lopsided vases evoke the region's abandoned ceramic factories and reflect the artist's unique ceramic style. Their asymmetry and fragility, reminiscent of Giorgio Morandi’s work, offer a poignant commentary on imperfection, craftsmanship, and impermanence.
