Description: This work belongs to the series Dreaming of the Sea, in which water becomes a symbolic and psychological landscape. The elongated vertical forms evoke distant horizons and shifting emotional states, drawing on recurring dream imagery. Through subtle color transitions and architectural silhouettes, the piece reflects on longing, uncertainty, and the fragile balance between stability and the unknown. The metal elements introduce a quiet tension, grounding the ethereal ceramic surfaces while suggesting structures of memory and inner navigation.
