// T42 by Mona Hatoum is a sculptural object crafted in stone that combines two teacups in a visually striking manner. Created between 1993 and 1998, the piece features two interconnected cups that share a singular, fluid form, suggesting themes of unity, duality, and balance. The minimalist design, with its neutral tone and smooth, organic shape, draws attention to the unconventional fusion of everyday objects. Hatoum, known for exploring themes of displacement, connection, and contradiction, uses this piece to challenge the viewer's perception of functional objects, transforming the familiar into a thought-provoking visual statement.

What is Found Object?
A found object is a term used to describe a man-made or natural object, or a fragment of one, that an artist discovers or purchases and keeps for inspiration or as a work of art. The artist may also modify the object or incorporate it into a collage or assemblage, transforming it into a new piece of art.
