n the work „Permanence Lies in Change,“ I arranged porcelain pieces on black glass panels to create images. Similar to the Rorschach test by Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Hermann Rorschach, those images can evoke various associations. The fragile porcelain pieces, which appear to float on the dark background, originally come from vessel forms of the traditional Meissen assortment. By cutting and reshaping these cast vessels, fragments were created that capture the ornamental and floral expressiveness of baroque Meissen porcelain art and unite them with a bony, even morbid formal language. With this, I aim to address the indispensability of the cycles of life and death, as well as the state of permanent change in our nature, which enables every blooming period. Additionally, the iconic cobalt blue underglaze on the porcelain pieces serves as a reference to the characteristic Meissen porcelain decoration. Helena Sekot I Permanence Lies in Change 24
