Beauty isn't always about the serene and harmonious. It is often the tension and dissonance that make something to be truly captivating

This one-of-a-kind objects invites viewers to reconsider beauty beyond its surface.

Wrinkled

These ceramic vases stand as silent sentinels of our society's complex relationship with beauty, challenging the delicate line between attraction and repulsion. In this series, classical elegance is interwoven with raw, textured layers that evoke the visceral struggle between societal ideals and natural imperfections.

Each vase embodies a duality: the smooth, polished curves are disrupted by skin-like surfaces, creating a dialogue between the refined and the flawed. This tension mirrors the human experience, where self-acceptance often collides with external pressures to conform to narrow standards of beauty.

Through this contrast, the vases invite us to reflect on our perceptions of what is beautiful or repulsive, urging us to look beyond the surface. They serve as a reminder that true dignity and worth lie not in the polished exterior but in the embrace of our imperfections - both in art and in ourselves.
