Clay chose me as much as I chose it—it is a medium that embodies life’s cycles of renewal and resilience. Its malleable, transformative nature mirrors my own journey of rediscovery as an immigrant navigating the intersection of two cultures. Working with clay feels like a dialogue with history, where each piece holds the weight of tradition while remaining open to endless possibilities. Its warmth and tactile essence allow me to shape not just forms but emotions, creating vessels that hold stories of identity, connection, and renewal.
