Shattered Vase Theory - Ron Baron
Ron Baron's current sculptures are made from repurposed domestic objects stacked in the shape of a classical vase. The form is covered with a Cubist-like skin of shards and collage, resulting in a fragmented mélange of personal and cultural artifacts that create a hybrid of civilization. The inspiration for this work comes from the Shattered Vase Theory, a psychological metaphor that compares those who have experienced severe loss and PTSD to a beautiful vase shattering into pieces. Rather than restoring the broken vase, one can transform and reassemble the shards into something new and remarkable by accepting change. Psychologists call this process Post-Stress Growth (PSG).
