Rebekah Wostrel - White Wedge

13 in x 10 in x 3.5 in

This beautiful sculptural vase by Rebekah Wostrel, a stunning addition to any home, features rounded edges and an elliptical shape that evokes a minimalist skyscraper or the bow of a ship. The cool white of the porcelain, a favorite material of the artist, is sure to add elegance and austerity to any room. Wostrel's work is informed by the traditional Japanese aesthetic of wabi sabi, characterized by simplicity, intimacy, and refined imperfection, as well as the elegant, clean lines of Scandinavian design, both of which are on full display with this vase.
