This vase carries within it the delicate magic of that moment when the earth seems to breathe, as if awakening to life.
It speaks of the connection between the body — which comes from the earth and returns to it — and the spirit, which flutters like a gentle breath, filling matter with meaning.
Its form curves softly, as though it itself has taken a deep inhale. It balances a heavy, grounded weight that recalls the soil supporting us, with a tender lightness that rises upward like mist, or a whispered prayer.
Its texture may reveal traces of hands, faint carvings, marks left by time and use — evidence that it was shaped by human touch, yet aspires toward something beyond. Its colors shift between earthy tones and hints of brightness, like a breath that escapes and vanishes.
“Breath of Earth” is a quiet reminder that life is a moment between inhaling and exhaling — a temporary gift where the spirit resides within the clay.
