Designed by Rookwood artist Allan Nairn, this vase was inspired by the ancient temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. These structures have been overtake by large roots that have completely enveloped the structures, reclaiming them back to the Earth. Allan was inspired by the idea that no matter how creatively we challenge or attempt to alter our environment, Earth will always overcome.
