The Symbiosis exhibition consists of eleven sculptures and three installation pieces. The material used is fired clay. This body of work begins with the notion of functional vessels as symbols of providing life, as the history of use of the vessel has contributed to the evolution of humankind. I use the human body as inspiration because it represents my own essence. The body is the tool that allows me to experience my surroundings (people and nature) through the senses. Both man and object have been in close relationship since the invention of the functional vessel. Therefore man and object are in a constant symbiosis, as these two different entities are in a physical association where equal participation is extremely important. Symbiosis happens when a vessel comes to life after the human hand creates it and a person contributes to his or her existence by using this functional object.

The purpose of this exhibition is to create an awareness of the importance of the ceramic object in our lives. Making my art allows me to find my own visual language, and express my feelings, emotions, and concepts through a historical and cultural understanding of the vessel form.
