Claws That Could Kill Ceramic Decorative Vase

This vase explores themes of abuse, transformation, and revenge through the figure of M., a woman who seeks retribution for mistreatment. It becomes a symbol of her sexual liberation and empowerment, featuring a prominent snowflake motif that alludes to cocaine addiction and trafficking. The piece belongs to the “MMXV Bestiary” project by designer Niki Danai, which addresses social issues in post-2008 Greece through semi-fictional narratives, intertwining personal struggles with ancient myths of innocents transformed into monsters.
