Made for Ornamentum's Up In Smoke exhibition, Swedish silversmith Anders Ljungberg has created two functional artworks including Bubble Dream, an exquisitely hand-crafted multi-element modular sculpture that dissassembles into a vessel for marijuana, pipe, a mobile container + small one-hitter pipe and ash tray. The one-hitter pipe van also be fitted as extra filter in the larger pipe. "Humankind has always searched for the magic in life. In times marked by rationalism, spiritualism and magic have become even more desired. Those concepts have , as so many other concepts and ideas in the contemporary, been kidnapped by a consumerist culture, in which drugs can sometimes offer a way to the magic and the spiritual but also to the highly desired moment of rest. Those mental states can easily be reached and consumed as anything else in the contemporary consumerist culture.
In my own youth, the use of marijuana was often associated with rituals of masculinity which made me feel both uncomfortable and excluded since I didn't find any interest of being a part of it and honestly didn't know how to do it.

In bubble dream, something is going on that is both enticing and threatening in its fermenting high glossiness. Both objects consist of functional elements that in the handling of them create structures for a ritual, but which together also create a sculptural whole."
