The vase takes the shape of a crooked line, but if you happen to sit at just the right angle, the design begins to look like an impossibly twisted triangle.

In creating the project, Cuatro Cuatros describes that: "The interposition, orientation and perspective create a contradiction of the space that makes us perceive something that is not."
