Pottery
Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand. (Isaiah 64:8)
I began my pottery journey as I embraced motherhood. It empowers me to transcend the roles of being both a mother and an academic. This marks the commencement of a therapeutic and uplifting journey. Personally, pottery symbolizes a continuous process of transformation (Jeremiah 1:10). Each piece represents a trajectory of new possibilities, renewal, and hope, serving as a reminder that even amidst chaos and brokenness, our lives can be uplifted, transformed, and elevated to a place of grace, freedom, and fullness. This too shall pass, as the saying goes. I hope my work inspires joy and hope within you today!

Inspired by a floral theme, my ceramic work has undergone a meticulous process: wedging, throwing, hand building, drying, trimming, piercing, bisque firing, glazing, and the final firing. This process demands extreme attentiveness to detail and patience—much like the experience of being an academic—yet it’s so immersive that you easily lose track of time and self, leaving no room for mind-boggling reviews. 😊 You are welcome to check out my ceramics portfolio on this website.
