Take Your Dice
2023
300 glazed stoneware and vending machine
Interactive installation
This interactive artwork features a vending machine filled with handcrafted stoneware dice objects. Approximately 300 dice of various sizes are housed within the machine, each awaiting discovery by participants. Every dice is engraved with a number, except one side, which is blank as the representation of their choice and unexpectaion. Visitors are invited to engage with the piece by inserting a coin into the machine and retrieving a single dice—a symbolic gesture representing the act of making choices in life. This machine encourages contemplation of the unpredictable nature of decision-making and the consequences that follow. Accompanying the installation is a poignant poem that underscores the theme of uncertainty and chance in life's journey. As participants roll the dice, they are reminded of the inherent unpredictability of existence and the endless possibilities that unfold with each choice made.
"Take Your Dice" challenges viewers to embrace the unknown, and to navigate the complexities of fate with courage and curiosity. Through this interactive experience, participants are invited to reflect on their own life choices and the inherent beauty found in the unpredictability of the human experience.
