Tables
conversed
Remains left after a meeting. The diners have risen from the table leaving a quiet space. Imprint of a conversation.
The silence after a talk. The moment before or after, is a moment of silence.
Half-disappeared crockery reminiscent of the immaterial. The white color takes weight off them, takes away their presence.
The reflections of the metal as the inner life of each spoon / individual
What attracts me to the set: cup, plate, and teaspoon, is that they represent "ONE MOMENT". A short, small moment, how small objects are.
Drinking a coffee is not a useful act like eating, but something + idle + mental. An empty cup of coffee makes me think of a gathering or a moment of reflection, intimacy, a pause.
The intimate life of objects. The coffee or dessert spoon has to do with sweetening, the soup with feeding. A teaspoon full of sugar = transporter of affection, of love.

White porcelain stoneware and slip
30/50 x15cm
The piece is made up of a group of white clay vases of different heights of a maximum of 50cm. The mouths of the vases are deformed into a human scream.
​
With this work I have tried to talk about people fleeing wars, conflicts, misery ...
My idea was to do a large number of them in a wave of screaming.
​
Shouts of wars, ignored, forgotten, uncomfortable rituals. Muffled screams, which are heard but not heard, are not attended to. Screams that are heard in the distance and that nobody wants to hear.
