Weightless

My project is a ceramic ‘Pandora’s box’ with a twist. Instead of being filled with the suffering of humanity, it symbolizes what humanity needs to thrive, freedom. My box is covered in clouds, which symbolize feeling weightless and carefree.

My piece was developed using ripped pages as background layer, with some pages coming from a feminist book ‘The Second Sex’, revealing my identity and voice as a female.
