Rooted in ancient classical form yet reaching toward the futuristic, they hold a tension between past and becoming. Clay coils are stretched to the brink of collapse, caught mid-motion and suspended, each layer wrapped into the next. They echo the way we hold one another—how stability is often collective and how fragility is carried.

Through the integration of cross-media techniques and craftsmanship, the amphorae are reimagined with leather coil-like elements that resemble wearable vessels, blurring the boundaries between sculpture, object, and fashion while challenging traditional perceptions of ceramic form and function.
