A few more pics of this piece (def not ‘AI’):

Metamorphoses I
(Stoneware, Terra Sigillata)

Over the course of 2025, I spent over a year developing a series of work alongside my pregnancy, reflecting on the process of incubation and its parallels with sculpting.

This is the largest and heaviest piece, which I finished in my second trimester (could barely carry at that point), trying to balance the surge of energy with physical extremity.

One of the main ideas I kept coming back to was that both material and maker undergo irreversible change through the act of creation.
