Damocles

Ceramic | 30 × 18 cm | 2021


The form holds a constant tension, as if something within it has not been released.

The piece begins as a compact, organ-like mass.

Its surface is punctured by blunt protrusions—unfinished, exposed, and interrupting the form.

These elements do not read as growth. They appear halted, as if the body has been stopped mid-formation.

Nothing breaks open. The tension remains contained within the structure.

 

The red clay adds weight to this condition. It holds the form, but also suggests fragility—something that could give way.

 The surface stays close to the body, blurring inside and outside.


The form endures in this state—held, exposed, and unresolved.
