What is that? What's it for?

While I am working, I find that there are two questions at really bother me. This is the situation: Someone walks into my studio and sees me working (or relaxing) and picks up an item that I have made and looks at it and says: “What’s this?” or “What’s that?” if in the case that I am working on something. Why is it that I must give you the answer, what is it? Why can’t they just use their imagination and decide whether they need it or not? When I go out I have know what I need and don’t need. If I need some small plates or bowls I will look around for something I need. If I see some interesting art object I am not going to interrogate the person who made it as to what is it. I will just assume, this is interesting I could use this as a bowl, plate or I like this piece, it’s small and easy to pack in my luggage. Seems to me people always need someone to give them the answer and they just cannot use their own imagination. Sad world we live in when people have lost their ability to use their imagination, I don’t like to say it but these people with a lack of imagination tend to be from industrialized countries – the “rich” countries.
