Carried Away By The Flood (Celestial Communities)

Suspended in a nocturnal field that feels at once cosmic and aquatic, a constellation of terracotta-red vessels becomes a series of portable worlds—each pot holding a white, incised narrative of dance, harvest, courtship, and animal life. The stark contrast between earthen red and chalky line-work lends the scenes the clarity of memory or ritual, as if these are ancestral stories fired into clay and carried through darkness as guiding lanterns. Around them, small drifting forms—fish, birds, and plankton-like motes—turn the void into a living current, suggesting that culture and nature circulate together, and that the vessel is both container and cosmos. The composition reads like an atlas of belonging: fragmented, floating, yet held in quiet equilibrium by the shared gravity of tradition.
