Duality

Lina Ocolisan

Duality, 2025 slip cast porcelain 18 x 11 x 14 cm

'Duality' reflects my interest in how we balance the selves we show to the world with those we keep private. The porcelain form appears calm and complete, yet subtle shifts within reveal vulnerability beneath the surface. Porcelain’s fragility and strength mirror the human experience, as light and shadow move across the work. I see beauty in this tension, where authenticity emerges through the quiet interplay of strength and fragility.
