The Bowl Of Wisdom — SuperBlast, 2025
One is tempted, before even holding it in one’s hand, to assign to this object a genealogy that stretches back to the most perilous of legends. The Bowl of Wisdom by SuperBlast is a ceramic vessel, modest in size, yet it carries the gravity of an artifact that alludes to the Grail itself—the chalice into which centuries of Western imagination have poured their longing for transcendence. Yet here, instead of solemn austerity, we encounter a playful, almost ironic iconography: two handful of eyes, unblinking, stare from its petrol-green-blue skin, their whites rendered in mint tones as though purified by some vegetal alchemy.
Inside, the color ignites—fiery orange, like a hearth perpetually burning, or like the illumination of knowledge itself, searing but also fragile, for wisdom is always accompanied by the danger of excess. Thus the bowl becomes a paradoxical relic: an everyday ceramic object that declares itself an eternal mystery. SuperBlast, by placing eyes upon its exterior, suggests not only omniscience but also the voyeuristic hunger of our time—wisdom sought not in silence but in perpetual surveillance.
One may say that this Bowl of Wisdom is not the Grail of the knights, nor the chalice of Christ, but rather a simulacrum in the Baudrillardian sense: a sacred object for a world that believes more in signs than in sacraments. And yet, in its glow, we sense that yearning which has never left us: that wisdom might still be drunk, even from clay.
