The thesis consists of two parts: the first part is analytically and research oriented and the second part is practical. In the first part, I focused on the cognition of intimacy, the ways to get to know ourselves and who we give permission to see us in all out vulnerability. I also delved into myself in terms how I feel this and how this impacts my relationships. I touched the symbolic significance of the bowl and at the end of the first part discussed works of art and design.
Later, I concentrated particularly on my feelings, how I personally perceive and experience intimacy in terms of uncovering and revealing. Through sketching and making models, I searched for a form, which included all my feelings. I observed the form, relations between pieces and the texture and connected them with a concept. At the end, I expressed myself through the medium glass in the sculptural work, as well as in the useful object. I illustrated my feelings with two half circles, which have a texture on one side that symbolises researching of one’s own inner place. The light contact of two pieces presents the act of letting someone into our inner world. In the case of the useful object, I designed three bowl, which present layers; we can connect them with the exploration of our inner world as well as with layers, through which we reveal ourselves.
