The pavement of a road that has been deformed or torn by the root of a tree, branches that entwine into a metal fence and twist it, a root that penetrates a concrete slab, cracking it. I have always been fascinated by the life force of nature defying constructed elements, these transformations/deformations of human buildings by nature that seem to represent an act of rebellion against our presence. Vase with Roots evokes this type of event and confrontation. Observing the object, it seems as if the roots belong to a plant that has broken through the bottom of a vase.
