This series of works is an attempt to reflect on the coexistence of the natural
and the artificial, and on how, in everyday experience, stable, smooth, and
predictable forms occupy an increasingly visible place, while the natural
continues to manifest itself through irregularity, fragility, and dependence on
external conditions.

The impulse for this series came from a personal experience of working with
material. As a child, my brother and I dug clay out of a ravine and shaped
figures from it, and this process involved a direct physical contact with the
earth. Now, watching my daughter, I notice a different kind of relationship to
material: her attention is naturally drawn to substances that are clean, light,
and already ready to use.

In this series, I combine unfired clay and lightweight air-drying clay into a single mass. The unfired clay remains fragile and sensitive to its environment, while the artificial material retains its smoothness and stability of form. From this mixture, imaginary plants emerge: at the bottom, an organic tuber takes shape, while above it appears a frozen artificial flower.

The series captures a condition in which the boundary between the natural and the artificial becomes increasingly indeterminate, and both principles coexist within a single object.
