Host an extravagant party or intimate gathering
Either way we are sure to entertain
Choose which guests to enjoy our ritual with
Pour wine into our shiny interior
Now have each participant pick their Kylix wisely
Each of our faces unique
Saying something yet we don’t speak
Once you’ve finished your drink
Try your best not to sink into this new view
As you take in peculiar clues
Our faces once a cup now a lens
How have you and your vision transcend
Kylix is a stemless, blown glass drinking vessel that shrouds the drinker’s view when lifted to their lips. Inspired by the
eyed-kylix of Ancient Greek symposia, the cup acts as a lens evoking curiosity as the user takes in their newly distorted environment.
