Clay as Second Skin: Cartographies of Desire

This body of work traces love’s topography through the medium of clay—its surface a terrain of touch, its fractures mapping where tenderness meets tension. Like skin, the material remembers: fingerprints linger as whispers, folds soften into creases, and edges thin to the brink of transparency.

Here, the corporeal and the ceramic merge. Vessels become bodies—hollowed, stretched, and scarred by the heat of their making. What begins as exploration (the outside) transforms into intimacy (the in)—an inversion where desire shapes the land, and the land, in turn, shapes desire.
