Description: The Vessel stands as both a figure and a container, embodying presence and function in a poetic form. With its rounded body and upright stance, the sculpture becomes a holder for flowers or objects, transforming ritual into art. The character’s serene face and grounded posture invite reflection, while the cavity at its center opens a space for life to emerge. Crafted with raw textures and quiet strength, the piece balances fragility and permanence, echoing the dualities of containment and release.
