"Clay is molded into a vessel but the ultimate use of the vessel depends upon the part where nothing exists. "Doors and windows are cut out of the walls of a house but the ultimate use of the house depends upon the parts where nothing exists. "So, there is advantage in using what can be seen, what exists.
