Two vases. Two paths.
One shows the marks of the hand. The other keeps silence on its surface.
Both pieces were made in stoneware and fired at 1250 °C. One received a lighter and rougher finish, allowing the gesture of the hand-building process to remain visible. The other is dark, matte, and more restrained.
They are part of the collection Gesture and Silence.
While one piece reveals the movement of the hand, the other holds stillness. The two exist in balance.
