Bird Bath
This sculptural series transforms traditional bird feeders into a dialogue between nature, architecture, and craftsmanship. Each object is handmade from stoneware clay, combining bold geometric forms with raw surfaces reminiscent of weathered stone, bark, and earth.
The vessels, placed on slender metal structures, turn feeding into an elegant element of the garden. At the same time, they create elevated spaces where birds can rest, gather, drink, and communicate with one another.
The angular forms contrast with the softness and movement of a living garden. As birds arrive, depart, and feed, the static ceramic objects become part of an ever-changing composition. The work explores how designed objects can support biodiversity while inviting us to slow down and notice the subtle rhythms of the natural world.
These objects do not attempt to imitate nature; instead, they create space for it. The clay preserves the traces of the human hand, while the birds, plants, and changing weather continually complete the work. Each feeder thus becomes not only a functional object but also a distinctive design feature of a contemporary garden.

The project explores light as a necessity of everyday life, while also presenting it as a symbol of responsibility toward the planet. The hand-modelled vases with hanging lamps are made from recycled paper and recycled clay. They are coloured exclusively with coloured clays and engobes, and left with a raw, exposed surface.
Soft, rounded lines and textures inspired by sand and erosion bring biophilic design into the interior—resembling organic forms more than design perfection. Paper ceramics have a unique texture and natural imperfections, with a rough surface that emphasises craftsmanship and highlights the authenticity and character of the material. Set against minimalist furniture, these pieces could create a striking contrast in any modern home.

This project explores how traditional ceramics can be combined with modern digital techniques, like 3D printing, to create new and interesting design possibilities.
The collection focuses on the relationship between handcrafted ceramic pieces and digitally produced forms.
Ceramics are made from coarse clay fired at high temperatures, which gives them durability and a distinctive rough, earthy texture. This raw, natural quality is important in highlighting the material’s origins, even as we merge traditional techniques with innovative digital forms. The goal is not to hide the characteristics of ceramic material but to emphasize its ruggedness, natural feel, and authenticity.
Throughout my 30 years of work, I’ve seen vessels as more than just containers — they’re symbols of life, resilience, and transformation. They connect the past and present, telling stories of continuity and change. With this collection, I aim to inspire viewers to discover their own capacity for growth and change while maintaining their individuality.
The overall theme, "Fusion of Tradition and Innovation" reflects how ceramics can break conventional limits, blending old techniques with new ideas to push creative boundaries in a way that remains rooted in tradition but explores innovation.
The overall theme, "Fluid Boundaries," reflects the idea that ceramics—as a material and as an art form—are not confined by traditional limits. Instead, they continuously evolve, merging old techniques with new technologies and ideas. In this collection, we see how handcrafted ceramics, made from coarse clay fired at high temperatures to ensure durability, can be combined with digital methods like 3D printing to create innovative forms. This blending of methods breaks down the rigid separation between tradition and modernity, allowing boundaries to become more flexible and open to change.
Ceramics traditionally have a strong connection to history and craft, but through this project, they also serve as a symbol of change and experimentation. By pushing beyond established norms, the collection demonstrates that the boundaries of what ceramics can be are not fixed but adaptable—able to shift and flow like water, blending the richness of tradition with the possibilities offered by technological innovation. This fluidity enables new ways of thinking about material, form, and function, inspiring designers and viewers alike to see ceramics as a dynamic and versatile medium.
