In the Canvas collection, the vessel becomes more than a functional form — it is a sculptural object, a silent carrier of emotion, memory, and meaning. Through bold yet fluid shapes and expressive, painterly glazes, each piece explores the tension between what is revealed and what is concealed.
Historically associated with the feminine, the vessel holds a long-standing symbolic connection to the body — as container, as keeper, as bearer of the invisible. In this work, the form becomes a space to explore the quiet power of what is held within: shifting emotional states, unspoken experiences, inner landscapes.
It is interesting how surfaces can speak. The contrast between exposed clay and layers of translucent glaze mirrors the interplay between vulnerability and opacity. Each vase is an act of balance — between chaos and control, gesture and stillness, rawness and refinement. They do not shout, but they speak — softly, and with weight.
