Between Worlds explores the enduring human impulse to create objects that exist beyond utility—objects that carry memory, ritual, and symbolic meaning. Combining the architectural language of the monument with a human–moth figure, the work draws upon references from nature, mythology, and sacred architecture to consider transformation not as a singular event, but as a continual state of becoming.
The vessel and column are conceived as a single sculptural form, evoking the reliquary, the ceremonial object, and the enduring relationship between humanity and the natural world. Built entirely by hand using traditional coil-building techniques, every relief, ornament, and surface records the time, labor, and physical presence of the maker, allowing the process itself to become part of the work's meaning.
Rather than presenting the human figure as separate from nature, Between Worlds proposes a state of coexistence, where the boundaries between the human, the natural, and the symbolic begin to dissolve. Through this fusion of architecture, figuration, and ceramic material, the work invites viewers to reflect on our instinct to create meaning through objects and on the quiet power they hold to connect us across time, culture, and imagination.
