This ceramic lamp began as a quiet rebellion. Its distorted female torso form reflects the layered pressures that women navigate in urban life — to be graceful, desirable, efficient, and strong, often all at once. These conflicting demands fragment the body, and I wanted to make that fragmentation visible.
The glaze acts as emotion rather than surface: turbulent, chaotic, unresolved. Blue and red emerge not for balance, but to interrupt — as protest, as wound, as blush. I treat ceramic not as a neutral medium, but as a carrier of memory: its weight, its burns, its unexpected beauty.
This piece inhabits the in-between. Neither sculpture nor homeware, it flickers between presence and purpose. I am drawn to forms that resist categorization — the misfits of function. They unsettle, but they also speak.
Please note: the back of the piece shows a few minor hairline cracks, formed naturally during firing. These do not affect its structure or function.
This piece comes with a signed certificate of authenticity, and the artist’s signature.
