Statement
Love binds our hearts regardless of distance. Within my artistic practice, round sculptures symbolize unity, empathy, and diversity, while stitches represent one’s connection to their heritage, regardless of location. Vibrant hues evoke positivity and humor. Through the incorporation of botanical motifs and whimsical colors, I've assembled a collection of ceramics embodying the essence of intergenerational love and connection. Each piece is carefully crafted to represent a family member, with parents and grandparents depicted as vessels, pitchers, and teapots, and children portrayed through rattles.
From an early age, elders impart love and joy through various artistic expressions, such as drawing, music, and storytelling, passing down cultural heritage and traditions. These mediums mold children's identities and instill pride in their families and community.
Early exposure to creativity is crucial for a child's development, nurturing a lifelong appreciation for the arts and encouraging them to explore their imagination. Through this ceramic series, I aim to capture the significance of familial love and the transformative power of art in shaping our lives.
