 “LIFE WITHOUT COFFEE”
3D hand cut diorama from hand drawn illustration
30 x 40 (cm)

This unique hand cut diorama has been made by layering up digital prints of a hand-drawn fine line pen illustration. All must dash illustrations are characterised by intricate patterns and textures that add interest and depth to everyday objects. The Bialetti and coffee cup symbolise the early morning ritual of drinking coffee in order to get the day started. The quote ‘without coffee there would be chaos and darkness’ represents the habitual nature of coffee drinking and how it helps to create a moment of order and harmony in everyday chaotic lives.
