Moments of porcelain

“The whole is so thin, so in lack of material, that you have to pick it up, to feel whether it is real.
This tactile seduction is swept away by the awareness that any touch would be too rude, too brute for this egg-shell-thin object.
It is exactly that fragility that heightens the spectator's feeling that he is catching a glimpse of infinity.”
