Ceramic, copper matte raku | 22 × 19 cm | 2023
From Nightmare — Surface Under
The surface
carries the trace of heat, holding change after the moment has passed.
This piece begins
from a face, then shifts through the raku process.
The firing leaves
uneven color, scorched tones, and fine fissures across the surface. These
changes are not fixed in a single moment—they appear to continue.
The face remains
partly readable, but interrupted. Areas of compression and discoloration break
the continuity of the features.
What stays is not a single rupture, but a lingering condition. The surface holds what has already happened, without fully settling.
