Biting rocks, spitting teeth (Ongoing)

Inspired by Agnès Varda’s reflection that “If we opened people up, we’d find landscapes. If we opened me up, we’d find beaches”, this evolving series of sixteen ceramic works turns the body inside out. Each piece reveals a terrain where skin becomes sand and teeth emerge like fossils or ruins. The polymeric clay mimics shifting dunes, sometimes sculpted by nature, sometimes by human will, blurring the line between organic and artificial. These tooth-studded landscapes suggest both decay and persistence, tenderness and unease.
The works speak to the strange intimacy between our bodies and the land of our origin: how we feed from it, are formed by it, and ultimately return to it. These ceramic terrains hover between the natural and the man-made, between tenderness and dread, reminding us that to inhabit a place or a body is always to be in conversation with decay, transformation, and time.
