Handmade geometric vases

Hi everyone, it has been a long time since my last post. I was in a very difficult moment in my life. Almost four months ago, I have to say goodbye to my mum who suffered rare cancer, this year on 14 Feb, I have to say goodbye to my dear grandma who lost her battle against stroke. It seems that my world was upside down. I have to go through this again, silence was the remedy for me for the first couple days.

All the time I have this Chinese poem by Mencius in my mind, “When Heaven is about to confer a great office on any man, it first exercises his mind with suffering, and his sinews and bones with toil”.

天降大任于斯人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨，饿其体肤，空乏其身，行指乱其所为，所以动心忍性，曾益其所不能。——《孟子》

Again, after my mum’s pass, I picked up painting, It helps me to heal. And I continue painting from my multinational world with watercolor. This time, I use clay to make many things which helped me to heal. And I will make some unique home fragrance with my new designed ceramic.

I made this geometric piece, got an inspiration from old Greek art, Greek art, the geometric art is characterized by geometric motifs in vase painting. Its centre was Athens 900BCE to 700 BCE. I love the pattern which is simple but very decorate on the clay.
I applied the pattern horizontally and vertically for two of my vases here. And the result is quite striking. Hope that you will like it too.
