Viennese artist Franz West's expansive oeuvre consists of numerous functional art pieces. His work, lighthearted and joyful, is simultaneously philosophical and introspective; asking his audience to take part and actively relate to his works.

Reality is as it changes, and flexibility in art is a visual likelihood of a thing's changing in space, while remaining what it is. As a stem of a flower sways in the wind, we have a sight of flexibility. Yieldingness as sight is much in pictures; the yieldingness that makes for strength is what we look for in art.
