Jar c. 201 - 500

This small glass jar, made by an anonymous artist, presents a study in weathered textures and muted tones. The vessel’s compact, rounded form is immediately softened by the eroded surface, where a once-smooth exterior is now marked by a matrix of flaking pigments. The jar’s coloration offers an interplay between the faded greens and creams, which compete for dominance across its surface. This tension between colors gives the piece a dynamic quality, as if the jar is caught in a perpetual state of transformation, where the past is visibly peeling away to reveal the present. The overall effect is one of decay, yet this formal quality speaks to broader notions of temporality. The jar embodies a narrative of change and offers a poignant reflection on the impermanence of material existence. In this interplay, we are invited to consider the jar not merely as a static object, but as a testament to the fluid and transient nature of time itself.
