I once created a shell-shaped vase that emerged from the kiln with one side cracked while the other remained smooth and untouched. In that moment, I saw a reflection of life itself—and of so many of us.
Much of our lives is spent presenting a polished, “perfect” side to the world, while quietly carrying another side—marked by cracks, scars, and traces of living. These imperfections hold our stories, our growth, and our individuality. They are not flaws; they are the essence of who we are, revealing resilience, strength, and the quiet beauty of a life fully lived.
This insight became the heart of my series “Beautifully Imperfect.” It honors natural beauty in its truest form—not as an ideal to chase, but as something real, shaped by life itself. Every crack and mark tells a story, making each of us, and each piece, wholly unique and inspiring.
As an artist, I create ceramics that embody this truth. Elegant yet distinctive, they carry their cracks with pride. These details do not diminish their beauty; they deepen it, making every piece authentic, natural, and one of a kind—just like us.
This piece is handcrafted using coils and signed at the bottom. It may carry marks from the making process, reflecting the piece’s handmade character.
Please note: The cracks are permanent and will remain exactly as they are—they will not expand or change over time. Each vase is one of a kind and cannot be replicated, making it truly unique.
