Memories of Colors Purple Twilight Small Single Flower Vase

In this vase, glass artist Otsuki Yosuke uses his signature multilayered glass technique to create a cinematic experience. Semi-transparent colored glass is layered vertically, so that a viewer walking past will experience the tones blending and changing as each new step changes the viewing angle. Shades of blue to purple emerge, blend, and give rise to new hues.

Otsuki intentionally kept the shape of the vase simple to emphasize the gradual transition of colors. The frosted finish creates a soft impression, while the polished edges highlight the beauty of light passing through the glass. Two hollow pockets in the interior give the impression of air bubbles rising through water. One turns into the opening of the vase, seamlessly merging the vessel’s interior with the external environment. The other hollow remains enclosed, reflecting Otsuki’s fascination with the way the interior of transparent glass can be seen but not touched, speaking to the mystery of something that is visible yet unreachable.

Otsuki enfolds his own memories within this piece, connecting them with the universal workings of nature to create something quietly profound. Captivated by the ability of glass to persist for hundreds of years, this work also embodies Otsuki’s desire to capture colors within glass so that they may remain undimmed forever.

A meditation on how memories are captured, this piece goes beyond its role as a vessel to invite moments of quiet participation in the piece and introspection.
