There is a weight to tenderness, a sense of gravity in the way two forms lean into each other. Mother & Child is a meditation on connection, shaped in the language of structured, angular curves and closeness. The stoneware body is sculpted with a seamless flow, capturing the essence of protection and presence – two entities, distinct yet inseparable, one borne from the other.
Each ridge and contour is deliberate, echoing the nuanced balance of dependence and independence. The glaze, a restrained yet expressive palette, allows the rawness of the clay to whisper through, much like unspoken words between two souls bound by time. The form holds space, soft yet strong, yielding yet unwavering.
This piece does not seek to narrate; instead, it’s open to interpretation. After all, each mother and child have their own story, like no other. A story of kinship, an ode to quiet strength, or a reflection of one’s own longing for closeness, this duo stands as a mirror to the viewer’s own understanding of belonging.
