The bowl has a blue depth and soft carved folds in the form of curled leaves. The outside of the bowl has a relief texture while the inside has a matte blue-green glaze.

This sculpture consists of a semi-circular shape with irregular open and carved cones on one half of the sphere. The sculpture is swaying and is meant to symbolise the need for cooperation.

Clay takes on an organic form, reminiscent of amoebas in liquid etheric dreams, as it is shaped into a vase-like sculpture. This intricate unity reflects the complex, instinctive thought processes and the primordial essences of existence.

The sculpture is shaped like an ovoid and is lifted into a spiral, engraved with a self-made tool. It is made of two pieces, resembling the half-shell of a broken egg. Inside the eggshell is speckled with four custom-made glazes, and outside with tan colours obtained from oxides in pit firing.
