Babel is a commissioned piece that started as a simple request: a means to display portions of a greater wine collection. From there the way forward seemed as simple as the client’s wishes, showcase the bottle as the main event. In my research about wine and its storage I came across a bit of information about the angle at which a bottle of wine should be stored, roughly 15 degrees. At this angle the cork is ensured to never dry out, causing the wine inside to aerate and spoil.
