// 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 conceptual art?
Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
