Inside this jar, sardines swim eternally through a tank that never empties — an aquarium without water, where time is suspended on the glassy surface of the glaze. The exterior of this piece is not simply decorated — it is inhabited. Twelve hours of manual labor layer fragments of patterns that once adorned ceramics from other eras, creating a facade where the floral intertwines with the geometric, where classical ornament meets contemporary saturation. Each layer is applied by hand, one atop another, before being sealed forever in the heat of the kiln. The jar becomes a small universe where the past swims in infinite circles.
