Since my earliest years, I have been fascinated by pottery designs, the utilitarian function of a vessel, and mythological stories. The vessels of clay made of the very substance of our planet (earth, water, fire and air) throughout time have been like a vast book telling humanity’s story. Here, I tell my story.
