The collection is a series of contemporary forgeries and a critique of the value system placed on Roman vessels and jugs from Greater Syria found in multiple global museum collections. The colors used are extracted from Roman architecture and aim to capture the essence of the natural materials used in Roman glass as well as natural dyes including plant ash, dried herbs, and natural rocks and minerals. The forms are slightly twisted to bring them into a revivalist space that embraces forgeries and questions antiquities and art market value structures. Only small adjustments and tweaks are required for the vessel to travel in time from the Roman Empire to today denying linear chronology. Each piece is hand blown in Palestine.
