The Paradox

Ceramic - Handbuild
White and black terra sigillata

40x30x30cm

In these unsettling times, contradictions feel stronger than ever. Fear and hope, chaos and beauty, uncertainty and strength—they all coexist.

'The Paradox' captures this duality and shows how opposites can merge into something harmonious.

Just like life itself, right?

​

​

The work explores the paradox through a quiet dialogue of opposites. The smooth, rounded shape is built from countless square elements. Black holds white. Stillness suggests motion.

​

The uneven heights of the rods invite the eye to travel, revealing movement within what first appears fixed.
