Loneliness

Loneliness both frees us and locks us in. Once I felt as if it tore me apart into pieces. I could not move. I wanted to take someone by the hand, but it seemed as if I had no hands at all.
In this project, pieces of the human body are immersed in the earth. The earth is the beginning and the end, the only moments when a person is truly alone, “for you are dust and to dust you shall return”.* Remaining in Loneliness, continuously thinking about oneself, one becomes immersed in this primordial substance. The boundaries between reality and timelessness are blurring.
Through ceramics, I interpret my experiences, turning to the outer shell of my being. Here I turn the inner side of this shell toward the viewer, thus revealing a person’s state of isolation, their loneliness

*Bible, Genesis 3:19
