"I am a pot" (a self-conscious vessel)
The "I am a pot" artifacts are beings that self-identify as vessels, created using the coiling technique. Traditionally, any organism living in a shell is considered as a “being”, but here we turn the tables. The sculpture is not a hull, rather an organism by its own right, whose growth in time becomes evident in the final result. The apparent traces of hand movement mark the aspiration of a non-being to be, as a continuance or evolution of life.
