This piece embodies the idea of a secret. Secrets are always a fascinating idea because they are unknown. They draw you in for a closer look, but if you get too close, you can see how delicate they really are. Similar to this concept, the piece of art has qualities that make it look fragile. The clay hand that holds the plaster mug broke off in the kiln, which gives it a broken effect. The resin in the mug has one drop that is caught in time. The piece captures this moment as if someone has frozen time while someone else is spilling a secret. This liquid can be interpreted as a secret that you can never take back or can never to unknown again. This is the danger of knowing any secret or the danger of spilling liquid on someone; both can be painful. However, this piece can be interpreted in many different ways aside from these. It should bring up a personal experience for the viewer about any type of secret and make the viewer think about their own secrets in their lives.
