The Nirvana Vase is a testament to the artistry of metalwork, where two steel pieces are meticulously shaped through repetitive hammering and adorned with a unique patina treatment. Visually, Nirvana is full of tension and surprises from every angle--the contrast between the light and the dark pays homage to Chinese ink painting. It presents a harmonious tension between smoothness and ruggedness, intensity and serenity.
