Description:
There are many distinctive ways that cultures connect to other cultures, through different languages and various traditions. There are also other ways in which cultures share similarities. One of those is the teapot. For each culture represented in this work of art, the teapot has a different shape. In the different countries, there are unusual styles and diverse arrangements of the parts of a teapot. The simple display of a spout, handle, body, and top are altered to make them either complex or simple yet noticeably unique. The teapots sit together on a shelf to represent the unity among the countries. The teapot is a form of art that has united companies in computer graphics, and in this piece, it unites nations.
