Partilhamos os registos da inauguração da exposição individual “What We Hold” de Mayank Sahni, para visitar até 10 de julho na Cossoul.

What We Hold representa a culminação de uma investigação material continuada onde Mayank Sahni expande a sua prática em cerâmica e vidro para o campo da instalação.

As esculturas representam os membros da família próxima do artista, unificadas formalmente por anéis concêntricos e diferenciando-se pela sua composição material, significado e alma.

Instaladas no espaço em penumbra, são ativadas por iluminação pontual, e aguardam a presença e ação do público, para que sejam ativadas e se deixem descobrir, através das sombras criadas pelos corpos, reflexos e luminescências.

Para Mayank Sahni “o vidro refrata e projeta, já a cerâmica, absorve e ecoa, onde cada superfície responde de forma distinta à mesma fonte de luz”, sendo essa fonte um ponto físico, espiritual ou conceptual, What We Hold comunica através da duração, da acumulação e da permanência, mostrando como a escultura pode ser personificada, detendo em si o retrato material de uma vida.

- Ângela Fonseca e Luzia Alves

A não perder até 10 de julho, das 15h às 19h, na Cossoul.

Your process is your biggest inspiration.
The magical moment when you blow the first bubble of air into 1141 degrees C molten glass and start the process of making blown glass sculpture ••

Each work of art carries with it a part of the creator, and when, for a moment, something unexpected happens, the creator feels it too.
Upon finishing this piece, it broke and could not be repaired. This experience taught us to be careful and to understand that incidents serve as learning experiences. What artist hasn’t gone through this? And, after that, we redoubled our care. 👀🔥 by @studio_sahni

From process to experience.

Each piece is handcrafted, respecting the time, the material, and the unique characteristics of ceramics. The result finds its true meaning when it transitions from the creative process to actual use, becoming a functional and aesthetic part of everyday life.

Before it becomes art, it is work.

Working with our hands means being a little bit of everything at once — labourer, craftsperson, problem solver, and artist.

Every material asks for something different. Clay needs patience. Glass needs timing. Tools need control. And sometimes the best decisions only happen when your hands are already in the process.

There are mistakes, repetitions, sore hands, failed pieces, unexpected discoveries — and that is where most of the learning actually lives.

At Studio Sahni, we like showing these moments too.

Not just the finished object, but the work behind it. The physical process. The small decisions. The hours that usually stay invisible.

Because making by hand is not only about creating a piece.

It is also about becoming better through the act of making. by @studio_sahni

Made by hand. Met by the sea.

We took this little ceramic form out of the studio and placed it somewhere it could have a completely different conversation.

With water, sand, movement, light.

A lot of our work begins by observing natural forms and then letting the material respond in its own way. We try not to make things too perfect or too controlled — nature rarely is.

Watching this piece sit between the tide and the sand made it feel almost like something that had always belonged there.

Maybe that’s what we keep looking for at Studio Sahni — objects that can move between sculpture, memory and environment, and still leave something open for you to feel.

Sometimes I look back and it feels strange to think how far life can move in just a few years.

Six years ago, during Covid, I never imagined I would end up on the other side of the world, working in a glass studio, shaping hot material with my hands and building a life around making.

A lot can change in five years.

Maybe that is what I love most about art.

Once it enters your life, it doesn’t really leave. It stays somewhere inside you, quietly making you more curious — about memory, emotion, people, places, and all the things we struggle to put into words.

And somehow, that curiosity keeps pulling you forward.

From one material to another.
From one country to another.
From one version of yourself to the next.

I still don’t know exactly where it is taking me.

But I think that’s the beautiful part.

Some forms only appear when you stop trying to control them.

This piece started in the hotshop with no fixed drawing and no final shape in mind.

When glass is hot, time becomes part of the process. You have a very small window to push, pull, open and sculpt before the material changes again.

I usually prefer to work in that moment — watching how the glass reacts to heat and letting those reactions guide the form.

The two openings, the stretched body and the flow of blue all came through that conversation with the material.

I’d like to take this piece further now — experimenting with colour and eventually mounting it on a metal base as a small collectible sculpture.

Still exploring where this form can go. taken in Lisbon, Portugal by @studio_sahni

Looking back at these years makes me way more emotional than I expected.

Finishing this chapter at VICARTE and going through all these photos and videos made me realise how much of who I am today was shaped by the people around me.

To all my friends — thank you.

I genuinely don’t think I would have grown into the person I am now without you guys. In different ways, every one of you gave me something — support, confidence, perspective, laughter, distraction when I needed it, and space to become more serious about my artistic practice.

And honestly, some of the best memories have nothing to do with the studio.

The beers.
The barbecues at VICARTE.
The pizza nights.
The stupid conversations.
The random plans.
The moments that felt completely normal at the time and now somehow feel priceless.

I would do a lot to live some of those nights again.

So this post is just me saying thank you for being there, for sharing these years with me, and for becoming such a big part of this chapter of my life.

I really hope life gives us another chance to make more memories like these.

Until then, enjoy this little throwback.

And don’t worry — this is only part 1.

Part 2 is going to be much crazier.

Love you all. 🤍
