There is a unique reward in creating functional pottery: my work becomes part of the daily life of its owner—touched, used, and cherished. It weaves itself into their routines, becoming not only a practical object but a reflection of their identity.

In this industrial and technology-driven age, the question of why we continue to create and use handmade objects—rather than relying solely on mass-produced, technologically sophisticated merchandise—is worth exploring. While I don’t have definitive answers, I believe it is, in part, a way to affirm and celebrate our individuality. Acquiring an original, one-of-a-kind craft object may serve not only a practical purpose, but also act as a form of self-expression—a vocabulary through which we articulate who we are. These objects also become tools for the small rituals of everyday life, the routines we participate in almost unconsciously.

As a maker, I hope my work grows on its users, reaching a level of intimacy akin to a trusted companion—one that offers unconditional comfort. I hope it brings excitement, joy, and affection to those who adopt it. My goal in ceramics is to create functional art with a vibrant personality, designed to live and work alongside the people who welcome it into their lives.
