Untitled 2 (Unfolding Form)

This ceramic form reads like a vessel in the act of becoming—its swollen, earthen belly grounded by a banded foot while the upper rim breaks open into a protective, shell-like canopy. Subtle gradients of oxide and ash bloom across the surface, letting light skate between satin sheen and roughened scars, as if the clay remembers both fire and touch. The slight misalignment of volumes creates a quiet tension between containment and exposure, suggesting an interior life that cannot be fully sealed. In its poised imbalance, the work becomes a meditation on shelter and vulnerability—an object that holds space not only for liquids, but for breath, time, and weathered resilience.
