Gestures and Melodies No.5 II, 2025 porcelain 21 x 27 x 27 cm

The work records the traces of my gestures and movements, reflecting the ongoing dialogue between myself and the clay. This process allows the clay’s inherent qualities – texture, moisture, and plasticity – to influence and evolve the form, representing the interaction between rationality and spontaneity. Through a dynamic balance between logic and intuition, my sculptures evoke an interplay akin to rhythm and melody in music, inviting viewers to experience this resonance of tension and harmony.
