Alive & Unfolding is an exploration of contemporary ceramics, where each artwork emerges as an extension of the artist’s experience, telling a story that speaks to deeper emotional and existential dimensions. The exhibition presents a vibrant collection of sculptures that challenge the boundaries between the figurative and the abstract, inviting viewers into a poetic world where human, animal, and cryptic forms come alive.
The works in this exhibition embody personal narratives, experiences, and reflections, each revealing details of stories that unfold before your eyes. With a strong sense of materiality, these works reflect the lifescapes of the artists, offering more than just an aesthetic experience—they draw self-reflection and engagement. Through both striking and intimate forms, the exhibition navigates themes of fragility and strength, often juxtaposing raw, instinctive processes with exceptional abilities to work with clay. Some pieces draw inspiration from the natural world, evoking landscapes, matter, and ecosystems, while others grapple with existential themes—examining life, death, and rebirth.
The concept of “unfolding” resonates throughout the exhibition, not only in the physicality of the presented works but also in their themes. We are invited to witness the interplay of opposites: delicate yet monumental, familiar yet strange, playful yet somber, static yet in motion. These dualities reflect the tensions of the human condition, and what better way to absorb and communicate different points of view than through ceramics?
