Silence and Gesture — 静けさと所作 (Shizukesa to Shosa)
A collection inspired by the Japanese tea ceremony
I created this small collection in a special moment.
These two vases were born from my deep fascination with the Japanese tea ceremony (Chanoyu), where everything is about gesture, silence, and intention.
Each piece was designed as part of a dialogue — one speaks of structure, of quiet preparation. The other, of offering, of gentle welcome.
I named this series Silence and Gesture — 静けさと所作 because that’s how I feel what happens between the hands and the clay.
It’s an encounter. A pause. A more present way of seeing and making.
I’m still at the beginning of my journey as a ceramic artist, but these two pieces represent an important step.
They were made slowly, with care, research, and respect — for the technique, the culture, and the time required at each stage.
