From the "Network" series, which was created in 1978,
This is a small, bottle-shaped vase that fits in the palm of your hand.

With skin as white as frosted glass,
A fine mesh reminiscent of woven fabric
It's intricately engraved.
A single, non-mesh band runs vertically across the torso.
Light shines straight through to that spot.

The area above the neck is smooth and free of mesh.
The densely packed pattern,
A blank surface.
That contrast is what makes this small detail stand out.

As a single-flower vase,
Or you can just leave it as is.
