An intricate, interdependent relationship that exists whether intentionally shaped by humans or arising spontaneously.
This work conveys those observations through a semi-abstract sculpture, merging human and natural forms into an inseparable whole. Created with a traditional wood-firing technique over a period of more than two days, the process results in a natural color palette while using materials sourced directly from nature, further reinforcing the concept of unity between humankind and the natural world.
WildMerge was previously presented at the Exhibition of Contemporary Young Artists 34 (2017) and was honored with the Best Thesis of Ceramic Award at Silpakorn University in 2017
