The “WHY”

Baby heads, disembodied teeth, isolated human features — these are not objects we typically welcome to our tables or our lips. I create functional ceramic pieces that invite the uncanny into our most intimate spaces. When they appear in everyday rituals, they disrupt the ordinary, breaking the autopilot of daily life. Even a simple meal becomes a moment of wonder, a spark of delight, a perceptual jolt that reawakens the senses. I strive to dissolve the boundary between decorative and functional, allowing art to elevate life itself. My pieces invite viewers to not only look, but to touch, to hold, to interact. Art can be lived with, it doesn’t just have to be seen.

With a background in psychology, I am deeply fascinated by the dark side of happiness: the collective thrill we feel toward things that are bizarre, weird, and even a little uncomfortable. There is a strange joy in embracing what disturbs us, a kind of laughter and awe born from confronting the unexpected. This dance between fascination and unease makes me feel profoundly alive, and it is the energy I pour into my work.

The human form is a constant fountain of inspiration. By isolating a single part — a nose, a row of teeth — I explore how meaning shifts and reshapes the entire vessel. There is an unexpected kinship between bones and clay: their potential is hidden, waiting to be revealed. My practice is devoted to what lies beneath the surface, always ready to be unearthed.
