The magical transformation of water into coffee inside a coffee maker inspired me to add to this purely physical process a symbolic, ritualistic sense. The two identical cones are connected symmetrically by a long Greek column. The lower cone contains the water and the upper cone, positioned upside down, recieves the coffee after the ritualistic passage of the water through the column.
