"Romance & Gravity (Mirror)" is a reflection of Marija Puipaitė and Vytautas Gečas' exploration of decor, inspired by their residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris in 2018. This piece emerged from their artistic research into Baroque aesthetics, a period once viewed as 'peculiar and unnecessarily complicated.' The duo examined how decor has depreciated in contemporary environments, reinterpreting historical techniques to breathe new life into ornamental design.
In this mirror, the frame—a typically decorative element—transforms into an autonomous, functional part of the object itself, embodying both form and reflection. Crafted from brass, the fluid, almost deformed shapes echo the passage of time and the influence of speed, motifs central to their body of work. The piece merges decorative detail with contemporary design philosophy, revealing the duo's ability to blend artistic theory with tangible, everyday objects.
