Wrapped Bottle, Project for Kirchberg Spätlese
A digitally rendered preparatory study for an unrealized wrapping project, this work depicts a wine bottle enveloped in taut fabric, secured with rope in the signature style of Christo and Jeanne-Claude. The composition combines photographic print with delicate paper collage and hand-applied crayon, reflecting the artists' characteristic practice of creating richly layered preparatory works. The tension between the bottle's familiar domestic form and its transformation through concealment invites contemplation on visibility, material, and the poetic act of wrapping.
