These ceramic forms are created without interruption — in one breath, through a process in which speed, balance, and the moment are essential. There is no room here for stopping or correcting: everything happens in a single continuous session, where every mistake becomes part of the movement of the form, every uncertainty a step toward stability. I work with a ceramic body that records the movement of the hand, the fingerprints. The vases are assembled without the use of slip or tools. If an object begins to lean to one side, I continue sculpting in that direction, allowing the material to determine the next step, searching for balance. The entire process of making is visible in the work — distortions, compressions, elongated lines, and unexpected bends are the result of a search for stability within movement. Balance emerges as a temporary point in a series of attempts to hold the form.
At the foundation are classical vase forms — a familiar, time-tested point of reference. But in the process, the work begins to live by its own rules: the material responds to every movement, shifts, resists, suggests its own path. And even with a model before me, human nature and circumstances inevitably introduce their own corrections, changing the trajectory.
What matters to me in this work is that every mistake becomes part of the object. As in life, it is impossible to "go back" and correct things — the clay continues to "live" in the state and direction that emerged at the moment of shaping. The forms in this series capture a state of inner search for support: between decline and growth, displacement and stabilization, destruction and creation.
