These ceramic forms are created without interruption — in one breath, in a process where speed, balance, and the moment itself matter. There is no room for stopping or correcting: everything happens in a single continuous session, where every mistake becomes part of the form’s movement, and every hesitation becomes a step toward stability. I work with a clay body that records the motion of the hand, the imprint of the fingers. The vessels are assembled without slip or tools. If the object begins to lean, I continue shaping in that direction, allowing the material to dictate the next step as I search for equilibrium.
The entire sculpting process is visible in the work — distortions, compressions, stretched lines, and unexpected bends are the result of seeking stability within motion. Balance emerges as a temporary point in a chain of attempts to hold the form.
The foundation lies in classical vase shapes — a familiar, time-tested reference. But during the process, the work starts to follow its own rules: the material responds to each gesture, shifts, resists, and proposes its own path. And even with a model in front of me, human nature and circumstances inevitably make their own adjustments, altering the trajectory.
What’s important to me 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 formed in the moment of shaping. The forms in this series capture the state of an inner search for grounding: between decline and growth, displacement and stabilization, destruction and creation.
