My current body of work, Between Punk and Baroque, examines the space where the exuberance of the Baroque meets the rebellious energy of Punk. It is within this tension—between ornament and disruption, refinement and rupture—that familiar ceramic forms begin to dissolve and new identities emerge.

This body of work emerged from a simple question: What is a vase? More than a functional object, the vase is a cultural archetype that carries centuries of memory, symbolism, and inherited meaning.

I begin with traditional vessels—vases and chalices, classical in their proportions and rich with cultural associations. By altering these familiar archetypes, I seek to uncover new identities and possibilities.

Through gesture, gravity, and chance, I disrupt symmetry and stability, allowing the clay to move. As each piece evolves, it approaches a threshold where the vessel becomes an artifact—imperfect, unstable, and uncertain of its own origin.

Porcelain is the ideal material for this investigation. I am drawn to its malleability, responsiveness, and inherent fragility, using these qualities as a language in themselves. Its capacity to record both deliberate actions and accidental events reflects my interest in transformation, allowing each object to embody the tension between control and chance, permanence and change.
