An ornate sculpture handcrafted in porcelain. Katsuyo Aoki’s delicate, swirling shapes form an abstract skull, an icon of death and life. However, the artisan’s use of abstraction deepens the meaning of her artworks. By creating an abstract shape of a skull, Katsuyo goes beyond its limited iconic meaning. The abstract sculpture highlights the mystique of existence.
