Artist Talk
Living, interpreting, and making are seamlessly intertwined, forming a dialogue between art and daily life. Through pottery, I seek to transform ordinary rituals into extraordinary moments by crafting functional ware that elevates everyday experiences. The objects we use for nourishment are more than tools—they are vessels for memories, carrying shared experiences and quiet intimacies.
My journey as a ceramic artist is deeply intertwined with a quest for serenity. Each surface reveals tranquil domestic scenes infused with past and present memories, blurring the boundaries between reality and imagination. In this space of enchanting realism, I explore memory and nostalgia, capturing a universal longing for security and connection while honoring the unique narratives that shape us. Art is not separate from life but an essential part of it—enriching our routines, deepening our connections, and grounding us in the cultural and personal stories we carry.
