final design idea

for my final design i have taken  ideas from my previous vase ideas, i have taken the part i believe would fit the subject that i have chosen (utopia and dystopia a subject that we studied in contextual) the reason i think this design fits the role well is because both the design of the vase and the art work that is displayed on it reflect the message. 
the form:
the form of this design shows both perfection and deformation, this reflects the perfection of a utopia and the ugly reality of a dystopia.

the images:
the images portray a world with out effort and a world in chaos. 

sketches 2

sketch one is  of the pattern i want to have on the main section of my vase, half of this image shows a ideal society and the other shows nothing but destruction and restraint. 
 on the top of my vase i have two symbols  one was inspired by the sun (the one on the left) and this symbol will represent life and hope.
while on the other side of the vase there will be a symbol that will represent death as shown by a dead tree standing alone.

vase sketch ideas 1

vase sketch one:
this is my first idea for my vase it takes a traditional vase shape in the style of the vase that was given to the king with i presented in my research.
the reason i like this design is the smooth curved shape, i believe that this form is near perfection in its design and is why when people ask you to draw a vase this shape is what usually comes to mind. 
 vase sketch two:
in this design i have added to my first idea and incorporated utopia and dystopia into the vases design its self rather than just the glaze, i have done this by warping the vase on one side to show that one side is perfect and the other is flawed.
vase sketch three:
i have again added more to the basic design of the vase, the warping is much more clear now and i have lowered the handle on the dystopian side, this makes the vase harder to hold showing that utopia's and dystopia's can exist along side each other but its not easy.
