*WORK IN PROGRESS
A bright pink toroid with happy dots all over its surface lays the foundation for an expressive, unfolding narrative of growth. The holes along the ruptured surface will anchor an organic, emotional weaving yet to come, echoing patterns observed in oyster mushrooms, chicken of the woods, and turkey tail fungi. The contrast between the smooth, controlled porcelain and the emerging, dynamic weave speaks to the tension between stability and expansion, between what is known and what is discovered through creation. Blooming Loudly is an exploration of exuberance and resilience, a visual manifestation of vitality that cannot be contained. It celebrates the moment when growth becomes visible, when life bursts forth unapologetically, and when the process of becoming is as important as the final form.
