My work is an exploration of ABSENCE, ritual, and memory embodied in clay.

I am drawn to structures that suggest both utility and enigma. Through careful carving, implementation of repetition, and the use of voids, I treat each vessel as a kind of threshold: a container not only for material but also for atmosphere and suggestion. The carved passages and concentric strata suggest tools of another age, poised between utility and myth - shrines, and ruined monuments. The surfaces—ranging from pale bone-like porcelain to shadowed, smoky blacks—anchor the work in a space between artifact and object.

These objects are meant to feel simultaneously fragile and enduring, familiar yet strange. They ask the viewer to pause, to imagine their purpose, and to sense the quiet weight of time embedded in their form. In this way, my ceramics are less about function than about presence—an invitation to hold stillness, mystery, and the persistence of form.
