Earth & Water

Inspired by the natural world and its ability to provide, "Earth & Water" is a functional reminder of the delicate natural balance that sustains life. The teapot stands on three feet and, through its design, I tried to merge natural and structured forms in a balanced way. It is mostly of slab construction and carefully engineered to feel comfortable in one's hands. I used applique techniques to add texture to the side of the vessel and glazed it with a textured green and tan glaze to mimic the earth and its beauty.

Many say creativity is a way to escape troubles and the monotony of everyday life, but for me, creativity has always been a way to understand and interpret the world around me—not leave it. Creativity is a mindset and lens through which I view everyone and everything around me.
