The way nature blossoms, wilts, and decays. So silent yet so filled
with vitality. As I absorb these fleeting energy around me, I attempt to translate them onto the peaceful and fluid clay In this series, I employ the motif of blossoming flowers, a magical and fleeting phenomena to explore the versatility of slip casting; a
technique traditionally known for its industrial uniformity. I study how to manipulate and reassemble the forms to construct objects that might surprise viewers. Demonstrating that ability of slip casting to be consistent yet diverse, fragile yet resilient.
Inspired by the changing of seasons, ‘Soft blooms, lost in the
wind’ is a reminder to pause, to breathe, to soothe the deep, instinctive fear of change. There isn’t anything one must achieve or be at by a certain timeline. Flowers each have their own blossoming times and there is a huge beauty in that.
