The inspi­ra­tion for this series of find­ings is drawn from archae­o­log­i­cal sites and the moment an archae­ol­o­gist unveils an enig­mat­ic arti­fact. We are pre­sent­ed with a col­lec­tion of vas­es, their his­to­ries for­ev­er veiled, leav­ing us to pon­der their untold sto­ries. These vas­es, encased in mud, ignite our curios­i­ty and fuel our yearn­ing to unearth the tales of their past.

This series is influ­enced by the 16-year-old “Catastrophe” project under­tak­en for the Mint in London. Notably, one of these arti­facts was loaned for the “Telling Tales” exhi­bi­tion at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
