Original artwork description:

'Ethereal Bloom 001' is a striking ceramic vessel that captures the organic essence of fungal growth while maintaining a refined balance between control and spontaneity. The base, carefully hand-thrown, provides a sense of stability, while the hand-built elements unfurl like living organisms, evoking the delicate yet persistent nature of fungi. The contrast between the glossy black glaze and the raw, unglazed clay enhances its textural depth, emphasizing the vessel’s duality—both cultivated and wild. Fired at 1150°C in an electric kiln, the piece achieves a harmonious fusion of material integrity and artistic expression. 'Ethereal Bloom 001' stands as a poetic reflection on nature’s quiet yet unstoppable proliferation, blurring the line between decay and renewal.
