FLOW 2025

The project of 2025 is called “Flow”.

Working with stoneware, I used special carving tools to interact directly with the clay, allowing each mark to reflect a conscious decision.
Every groove, line, and curve I made was an intentional step toward forming a direction—an echo of how our choices shape our lives.
When each piece was finished, I could see a pattern emerge, almost like a visual diary of movement and intention. It became clear to me that these carvings weren’t just decorative—they were symbols of life’s personal rhythm.
 
Throughout this process, I explored a wide range of shapes and colors.
It was important to reflect the diversity I see in people—their stories, their emotions, their differences. Just as no two individuals are alike, no two ceramic pieces turned out the same.
I used a special glaze called “lichen”, which I’m especially drawn to. For me, it holds a quiet symbolism, capturing the passage of time. The way it settles and grows over the form reminds me of how experiences accumulate, layer by layer, on our own lives.
 
The inspiration for “Flow” came from my island. I would sit and watch the ripples of the sea, the wind weaving through the wheat fields, schools of fish shifting in silent harmony, and the way olive trees grow—twisting and hollowing with age.
These natural movements and forms guided my hand and heart.
They reminded me that time is not always linear, and our decisions, much like nature, create paths that are winding, textured, and deeply personal.
