CRAC IS A PERSONAL SIDE PROJECT BORN FROM FORM EXPERIMENTATION.

SINCE 2021, I HAVE BEEN EXPLORING THE POSSIBILITIES OF GLASS BOTTLES BY CUTTING THEM AND PLAYING WITH THEIR SHAPES. THE FORM OF A GLASS BOTTLE OFFERS ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES TO CREATE FUNCTIONAL PRODUCTS OR SIMPLY TO COMBINE DIFFERENT PARTS TO CREATE NEW SHAPES.

USEFUL

USEFUL CRAC FEATURES FUNCTIONAL PRODUCTS SUCH AS CUPS, ASHTRAYS, LAMPS, AND VASES. THE CUPS HAVE SIMPLE AND STRAIGHTFORWARD DESIGNS AND CAN BE MADE IN DIFFERENT DIAMETERS, HEIGHTS, AND COLORS. BY CUTTING THE BOTTOM OF WINE BOTTLES AND TURNING THEM UPSIDE DOWN, WE CAN CREATE FANCY ASHTRAYS WITH DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES, DEPENDING ON THE BOTTLE USED. THIS TECHNIQUE CAN ALSO BE APPLIED TO CREATE DIFFERENT TYPES OF LAMPS AND VASES, BY PLAYING WITH THE SHAPE OF THE BOTTLE NECK.
USELESS

USELESS CRAC IS A COLLECTION OF FORMS MADE ENTIRELY FROM GLASS. ALTHOUGH THE PIECES ARE MADE FROM DIFFERENT SHAPED BOTTLES, THEY HAVE A SYNERGY THAT ALLOWS THEM TO COMBINE INTO COHERENT AND UNIQUE SCULPTURES. THIS EXERCISE IS ENDLESS AND ENCOURAGES US TO EXPLORE NEW SHAPES BY PLAYING WITH DIFFERENT PIECES, COMBINING FORMS, AND COLORS. IT CAN BE A GREAT SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR EXPANDING THE BOUNDARIES OF FORM IN OTHER PROJECTS.
