Human Entropy as Identity
Human Entropy as Identity is a series of ceramic vessels that I place in contrast with the vessels of the human body.
I work on the potter’s wheel, which acts as a limiting tool, much like the human body is built on a basic structure. Within this structure, difference does not disappear — it accumulates.
In this project, I explore how identity emerges in closed and repetitive systems through the accumulation of deviations, errors, and destruction.
By repeating the same process on the wheel, distinction or identity sometimes appears in the form of cracks, deformations, and breakages, but it can also emerge through other, non-physical aspects of the human being, which I attempt to convey through the surfaces of these vessels. Some vessels crack or “explode,” yet each object reaches its own form through these changes. What lies inside, however, no one can ever truly know.
