Through my bachelor thesis, I was exploring relations between light and shadow, water and glass. I tried to find out what shadow really is and how it corresponds with light from the physical point of view. Through the theory of physics I learned about quotients of light and types of shadow, and later on how to make a functional object – a sink. Exploration of topic began with books about creating a living space and about ergonomic laws, which are necessary for functionality of an object. Creating the final piece I was playing with textures, light and shadow, while also exploring how material feels if you touch it. Deciding on the kiln tests my thinking was oriented on shape and sentiment, I wanted to create for user of this sink. But functional object is not a functional object, if it isn't positioned in the space, so my research also included searching for the right tap and lightning to present and exhibit the final product.
