Whispering Vessels

Each double-layered vessel contains substance like sand or tiny gemstones, which move freely inside but cannot be emptied. The content is visible from the opening and can be felt as the vessel is moved, producing sound and creating illusive patterns.

The sound in this video was created with the five vessels filmed.
