s+oryprobl=m :: 1461 (aka s+oryproblem :: fragile vessels, 2017)
A salve, a breath, a gentle reminder during turbulent times of the fragility and fleeting nature of all things, the 1,461 teacups and bowls delicately handmade out of paper that comprise s+oryprobl=m :: 1461 provide a quiet gesture of acknowledgement that even when we may feel overwhelmed by circumstances at hand we are but one of many and eventually 1,461 days will pass.
Intended as a visual 4-year countdown calendar, 1,461 is the number of days in a 4-year Presidential term in office.
