THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX

This object is a homage to "Rodin" (The Thinker).

The female 'thinker' (made of glazed ceramic) is thinking about saving the world. She is sitting on an enameled globe (little enamel box with a silver Covid-19 vaccin inside) and has the Global Environment Outlook report at her feet.
In the ceiling of her "Think Box'  a yellow crystal sun is still shining on her for as long as the global warming did not take that light away.

The wooden frame can slice into the big enameled box.

The enamel panels on the box show how dark  the world will look like without the sun and all the fun we used to have in a healthy world. .

Deze antieke scheerkist (met spiegel, zeep, scheerkwast en aluin) is voorzien van een koperen gecisseleerde deksel die daarna werd geëmailleerd. De afbeelding is een detail uit de eerte advertentie van De Vergulde Hand.

Op de hoeken zijn zilveren (925) ornamenten gemonteerd.

This antique 'shaving box' (with soap, brush and aluin stone in it) has a mirror on the inside of the cover.

The top panel is made from copper with chasing and repousse technique and has a enamel layer on top and silver cast ornaments at the corners.The image is a part of the commercial for shaving soap in the late '40's by "De Vergulde Hand".

I made this box in memory of my grand dad who was the inventor of the Corona liquid shaving soap in the Netherlands in the early '30's.
