A visual story told through the arrangement of forms, contributing to a larger narrative.

Love is born into eve­ry human being: it calls back the halves of our original nature together; it tries to make one out of two and heal the wound of human nature.

The juxtaposition of two different shaped halves in a single vessel echoes the idea of harmony arising from contrasting elements. Just as Plato believed that individuals are incomplete without their complementary halves, these ceramics stand as a visual metaphor, reminding us that beauty and wholeness can emerge when diverse forms come together to create something greater than the sum of its parts.

“Now, since their natural form had been cut in two, each one longed for its own other half, and so they would throw their arms about each other, weaving themselves together, wanting to grow together. In that condition they would die from hunger and general idleness, because they would not do anything apart from each other. Whenever one of the halves died and one was left, the one that was left still sought another and wove itself together with that.”
(Plato, Symposium, The Other Half)

These works organically sprouted from a collaboration called ‘Gross_collective’ with Erwin De Muer and Catherine Hanssens. Check out the visual diary on instagram.
