"Impressions" is a set of imprinted dishware emphasizing, in blatant subtlety, an otherwise intangible personal projection. "Impressions" hence reveals and puts into value, both, the metaphorical and physical portrayals of self-lurking within each and every one of us by imprinting intimate pieces of clothing and hidden body parts onto a public object - a household dish.
 
Each plate was cropped from an initial larger composition of flattened and pressed porcelain. After the pices were pressed and cut into circles they were air dried with each of them taking a different indent and shape as they where placed organically into already existing plates in order to take a similar shape as each piece dries.
 
"Impressions" was first showcased in House of Today's second exhibit entitled "NAKED".
