Take Care
In a world teetering between abundance and scarcity, “Take Care” stands as a proof of the transformative power of creativity and resourcefulness, inviting us to take care of our environment, our objects, and the stories they tell. This ceramic vessel addresses the dilemma of waste in ceramic industry by embracing it as an integral part of its aesthetic narrative. Its substance is commited to circularity, with 65% of the piece being composed of hand crushed ceramic waste belonging to unused ceramic products that would otherwise have been discarded. Its core components, crushed ceramic fragments are sourced from disparate objects and locations and are a medium of connection, tying together different ends of ceramic production and honoring the diverse trajectories of these disposed objects.
“Take Care” is asking us to find purpose in every item produced: it is a call to break away from the circle of mindless discard and embrace a cyclical existence. The careful balance of color nuances, achieved through varying proportions of red and white aggregates, emphasizes the idea of transforming waste into beauty and challenges the viewer to reflect on their relationship with the material world.
