Original artwork description:

"Ethereal Bloom 008" exudes a quiet, otherworldly elegance. The vessel, softly coated in a light white transparent glaze, allows the subtle grain of the clay to remain visible, enhancing its organic presence. Adorning the sides are intricate, hand-built fungi-like forms crafted from mixed clay, each with unique texture and movement. These sculptural additions are partially finished with white engobes, giving them a delicate, weathered look—like lichen clinging to stone or fungi blooming on ancient bark. The contrast between the smooth vessel and the raw, growing forms invites reflection on transformation and decay.

Fired at 1180°C in an electric kiln. Ethereal Bloom 008 is a contemplative work—an artifact that seems both ancient and alive, delicate yet grounded.
