It may be a wine glass.
It may be a mug.
It may be neither.

Silhouette shifts attention away from functional classification
and toward how form is perceived.

From one viewpoint, the proportions and outline of a wine glass are read first. As the viewing angle changes, the image of a handled mug comes into view. While the physical form remains singular, its visual identity does not settle into one reading.

This dual perception extends beyond the object itself to the shadow it casts. Form and shadow suggest different images,
allowing a single object to be read in multiple ways.

Rather than reinforcing a fixed functional type, Silhouette approaches design as a question of perception-how objects are seen, recognized, and named.
