About the Artist

The “Through Animal” is a whimsical vase designed as a fairytale-like creature resembling a cow. With a long neck and a funnel-shaped opening for flowers, it features a smooth, glossy surface in white adorned with playful blue spots. Its four legs have golden hooves, and stylized accents on the neck, tail, and eyes enhance its charm. The vase includes two openings for flowers—a large one on the neck and a smaller one on the tail—blending decorative and functional qualities. Originating from a planet of Emptiness (located in the Yoomoota art universe), the “Through Animal” appears to be a living entity, with its personality shaped by the flowers it holds. When filled with red roses, it takes on their passionate character, while lilies lend it a more melancholic essence. This unique vase encourages a playful interaction with nature, reminding us that beauty can be found in the most unexpected forms.
