The Alps ^
Semi-functional Pots
2021
[ Ceramics, Sculptures ]

The "Alps^ semi-functional-pots" project is a transformative exploration of the walking experiences I cherished with my dad in the mountains. This initiative involves crafting semi-functional objects that evoke the awe-inspiring landscapes of my childhood and honor the rich ecosystem that shaped my identity. Encouraged to immerse myself in nature from a young age, I roamed untamed paths and created my own trails. As I evolved into an artist and designer, I integrated this passion for exploration into my art and design processes, reflecting on my deep connection to the world around me. My recent ceramic sculptures, taking the form of vases, bottles, and bowls, invite interaction and contemplation. Utilizing cranked clay and techniques like hand-building, pinch, and mold, I capture the tactile and natural qualities of my environment. The coiling method serves as a meaningful dialogue with my inner self, allowing me to construct pieces that resonate with my essence and celebrate the timeless beauty of the mountains.
