The teapot expresses the concept of carrying opposites. Artist Rina Kushland explains:
“Building a teapot requires a combination of precise, technical construction with imagination, humor, and artistic emotion.”

Creating a teapot demands accurate calculations alongside freedom and creativity. As an object, the teapot belongs to a bygone era, to a world that once was, yet it retains a fascinating aesthetic in the present.

The teapot embodies the carrying of opposites—air and earth, which form its raw materials; water, which it holds inside; and fire, which heats it from the outside.

The teapot gives space to these opposing elements and enables them to coexist in harmony.
