Philosophy

object 096 was born from a deep connection to the present moment, a desire to mold the raw, untamed beauty of now into something tangible.

In a world that often chases perfection, I find beauty in the rough edges, in the fingerprints left behind, in the natural, unrefined textures that reveal the clay’s true essence. My work is about embracing the imperfections that make each piece unique, just as we are each unique in our own way.

Each piece is a raw, honest expression of the clay and the hands that shaped it. No two pieces are the same, just as no two moments in nature are the same.
