Brief
cap 0. - elements
A hands-on exploration of wheel throwing and glaze chemistry — a study of material behaviour, craftsmanship, texture and surface contrast.
Concept
cap 1. - elements
Each piece begins from an elemental reference — clouds, storms, the meeting of land and sea — translated into form through wheel-thrown bases and experimental glazing.

Five ceramic pieces developed during this exploration.
Clouds
Translating the volume of clouds into solid matter through form and light reflection.
Chaos
Capturing the turbulence and energy of a stormy sky through color blending.
Encounter
A representation of the meeting point between land and ocean.
Revelation
Contrast between refined craftsmanship and raw earth.
Stream
A cylindrical vessel where cobalt drips flow over a soft blue glaze — a study on the movement of water on ceramic.
In context
