Smoke is how the invisible becomes visible and time turns tangible.
In creating this ceramic piece during my residency in China, I was deeply inspired by observing the deep-rooted customs and meaningful traditions of incense burning that connect history, nature, and community.
From an anthropological lens, smoke has always gathered us as a tribe—it is an ephemeral architecture connecting the everyday with the sacred. Psychologically, its spirals compel us to stop; they cannot be rushed, only inhabited. The aroma goes directly to our emotions.

Beside a temple on a waterfall in China, I gathered some friends to light incense sticks together—for Heaven, Earth, and Humanity—in this very incense holder I molded by hand. It was a collective ritual to sense our energy fields interacting and connect. Art is a vehicle for this practices.
Today, this piece returns charged with the energy of that place and that memory. An object designed to inhabit the present.
📍Now available in Barcelona and via shipping; DM to purchase.

5 little things I love so far about 2026…

1. Using my phone less and making it count more when I do.
2. Long morning drives and walks to nowhere.
3. Making tentative plans and seeing how I feel.
4. Physical books and tactile pages.
5. Watching things grow and blossom.

What are you seeing so far?
