Artist’s Statement
In the movement and flow of the existence of life, my ceramic artwork focuses on emulating the rhythmic patterns of breath. This artwork aims to be a metaphor for the cycles of the mind. Two whistles that are on two opposite sides are speaking — one a cry of liberation and joy, and the other a low, gentle echo of contemplation and unseen turmoil. Water is the essence of life and gives life to this artwork. In addition to that, it gives it a voice in the gentle flow from one state to the next, where we find comfort and a promise that even in the darkest moment, hope can come out as a whisper that becomes a triumphant cry of defiance. It is important for mental health that we don’t stay silent, but hold onto something — even if it’s just a small tremor of a voice — because like the ring of King Solomon states, “this too shall pass”.
