Fetured work
Selected works, 2015-2018
Porcelain has became the most proper material to express myself with its fragility, semi-transparency and whiteness.
In general, I like to make works which are simple, repetitive, unglazed, dominated by white and black. Transparency and fragility are important features in my works.
