HOME INSIDE
This series of ceramic forms references the lacework created by the women in my family. It serves as a tactile diary about a home that no longer exists, and about a house that lives within.
I use lace as a starting point to explore themes of memory, love, loss, and intergenerational connections. I transfer lace into ceramics, where it becomes a tactile trace — something tangible yet elusive, allowing space for the viewer's personal narrative.
I establish connections between people of different generations by inviting them to view the past through a fresh lens. Simple objects serve as carriers of history; lace becomes a cultural code passed through time and space. In this way, personal memory takes on a physical form.
I work with clay, which conducts warmth, retains cracks, and reveals unpredictable shifts in color—signs of life's journey that leave their mark on a person.
In these objects, gestures are essential: the way a napkin lies, the way an edge falls, the way lace is folded into a ring. These are movements of memory. They speak of how lived experiences transform into an inner resource—a sense of "home" in a new context.
