The space between our ears, or glasses.

The Japanese called it 'ma' in garden design, some people have a lot of it between their ears and others believe that it's actually dark matter.  Negative space: Whatever it is, some people just like using it for artistic effect.

So, tasked with designing an object to celebrate the anniversary of the classic Coca Cola bottle Paul Daly came up with this little masterpiece.  Using the negative space between 2 beautifully crafted crystal glasses he 'pseudo-creates' the best unmade coke bottle of all time.  Genius.

Here's a poem from philosopher Lao Tse about this whole negative space (ma) thing: so very profound.:

Thirty spokes meet in the hub,

but the empty space between them

is the essence of the wheel.

Pots are formed from clay,

but the empty space between it

is the essence of the pot.

Walls with windows and doors form the house,

but the empty space within it

is the essence of the house
