Pottery Slam 3 / Instability
We choose to settle under a large tree with roots deep in the ground. We cling to the stable ground and turn our house into a fortress, protected between its walls. Furthermore, we cannot imagine such colossal instability—in which the earth moves under our feet, carrying our world away.
The reality of our fragile world built on unstable material, anchored in delicate balance points. The current COVID-19 Virus has taught us a thing or two about the fragility of our world, about the instability in which we live in. The circle, almost cosmic, in which we live in, striving for destruction and new balance. The work deals with this delicate balance; The cycle of destruction, balance, destruction and so on.
