I didn't sense that the unique attribute of this entry was the direction of the viewer's eyes - the table - until much later.
All of the judges concentrated on the “originality” of the work at first.
To bend down and try out the stacking feature is fun and one is naturally drawn to playing with the sake cups.
The artist also experiments with the action of “pouring”, and the artist's train of thought is visible in the work.
Do you have a drink each night with your own work? Congratulations!
