“Inner Totem” rises as a silent, organic presence, a form that seems to emerge from the earth itself and transform into an ascending, almost spiritual gesture. Hand-modeled in clay, its fluid, asymmetrical silhouette evokes the imprint of the body and the passage of time, while mineral slips create earthy nuances and deep glazes that interplay light and shadow. Polishing with beeswax lends it a tactile smoothness and an intimate sheen, as if it held warmth within its surface, and firing in a traditional wood-fired kiln imparts character, with unique and unrepeatable marks that tell of its creation. This piece does not merely occupy a space: it transforms it, inviting contemplation and a serene connection with the essential.
