For All Intents and Purposes

For all intents and purposes is an installation made of six-packs of bottled water, plastic wrapped, some of their caps unscrewed. The packs function as flower pots, with cut flowers inserted directly into the bottles.

The use of wrapped water bottles from an upper-middle price range operates alongside the flowers as a semi-organized system in which a single-use object is removed from its function and reset into an ambivalent form of value, taste, and class.

The installation, presenting several units at once, suggests a storage situation, in which a stack, a reserve, is then transformed into a decorative commodity.

The piece exists in its freest form as a set of instructions, can be reinstalled site-specifically as pleased, following a few rules concerning the price range of its elements.
