The Womb Vase Sculpture

Within my practice, I focus on fluid movement, soft lines, and organic shapes, resembling those found in nature and the human body, seeking to evoke a sense of calmness and harmony. I believe in the power of simplicity, both in color and form. Captivated by the raw elegance, tactile texture, and muted color palette of bare clay, I strive to preserve these qualities, keeping a significant portion of my ceramics unglazed. My aim is to invite the viewer to engage in a sensory experience by physically interacting with the clay's surface, to understand the essence of each piece. My work holds a touch of my hand, reflected in its imperfect shape and the occasional fingerprints left on the clay body. It’s important to me that the audience feels the human hands that crafted the object. In pursuit of creating work that is both aesthetic and natural-looking, I have found traditional hand-building techniques to be the most suitable. It gives room for imperfection and improvisation. By shaping the clay with my hands, I follow its lead. The result is organic and unpredictable forms that are hard to replicate, giving each piece its own personality.
