It radiates a universal spirit, that is the spirit I want to express in my work. My tableware carries signs and symbols of existence. My intention is to create objects that people interact with in their daily lives. Hence, I wanted to find an art form accessible to people. Itβs about βyourβ personal attitude. To me, clay, as a medium, is mystical and philosophical to work with. The treatment focuses on softness, the way in which clay can take up an imprint and be manipulated and transformed into reality. It always denotes continuity of life. A finished object like a CUP is the most fundamental object of civilization, with a basic function. The most important thing is that we renew ancient concepts by redesigning them, the creation is old yet new, reinstating the fact that we live with change. Yet, each piece has its own unique character. It is a philosophy of perfect imperfections." - Aanupamaa G. Jalan
