Rhythm of Becoming considers identity as something continually formed through time, experience, and repeated acts. Inspired by the idea that everything exists in a state of constant transformation, the series explores how accumulated gestures become records of change, echoing Heraclitus' concept of panta rhei (τὰ πάντα ῥεῖ) - everything flows.
Working directly into stoneware, each carved line is created through a deliberate and intuitive process. The surface becomes an archive of decisions, where rhythm emerges through repetition, interruption, and variation. These marks do not function as ornament but as evidence of movement—material traces that reveal the unfolding relationship between hand, clay, and time.
Natural processes inform every stage of the work. The movement of waves, the shifting of grasses in the wind, the growth of olive trees, and the slow weathering of stone provide a visual language through which the vessels develop. A lichen glaze settles across each form like the gradual accumulation of memory, suggesting the quiet passage of time and the layered histories carried by both objects and people.
No two vessels follow the same path. Together they propose identity as an evolving condition rather than a fixed state, shaped through countless gestures, experiences, and encounters. The works invite reflection on the rhythms that connect personal transformation with the enduring cycles of the natural world.
