As I continued working on the 'cup' project, I realized that what I was doing was 'deconstruction' of the cup. Deconstruction is a term used in

Semiotics: application of the science of signs. My background is language studies and linguistics, and the communication process in spoken or written language as well as in visual art form always fascinates me. The idea behind deconstruction, according to Jacques Derrida, is that meaning is not tied to a particular sign and is not fixed within closed systems. It moves continually on a chain of signifiers. Deconstruction challenges the unqualified present. Thus in my 'cups of deconstruction' I am celebrating dissemination over truth, explosion and fragmentation over unity and coherence, undecidable spaces over prudent closures, playfulness and hysteria over care and rationality.
