Description of the Artwork “Jugs”
This artwork presents a fascinating depiction of two jugs designed as faces of people - a man and a woman. The choice of this unusual medium of using jars as a canvas for human anatomy gives this work immediate visual and conceptual appeal. The depiction of the faces of men and women on the mugs is not only creative but also symbolic. The jugs, often associated with associations of hospitality, celebration and human interaction, now take the shape of human faces, creating an interesting connection between object and identity.
