Hand of Fortune
Are you jealous, happy, in love, fickle, silly, sleeping or passionate ? This light hearted, simple acrylic tray, ‘vide poche’ or ‘objet d’art’ will tell you how it is.
Referencing the iconic family amusement and Christmas cracker gift the Fortune Teller Fish and combining it with the multifaceted symbol of the hand, in this case Sebastian used a caricatured outline of his own. Arriving just in time for the festive season, it is an object that gives us a moment to reflect on the year passed and the year to come.
Jealous – moving fingers
Happy – moving palm
In love – curling fingers and palm
Fickle – curling sides
Silly – turns over
Sleeping – motionless
Passionate – curls up
Each Hand is cut from acrylic and hand formed by Sebastian Bergne. As a result there can be slight variations in the curling form of each piece.
