This is an introspective voyage of where I come from and who I am – a woman from the Mediterranean.
I am nourished by my memories and sensations – the smell of saltwater, my tangled hair, the remains of sand on my skin, the harshness of the sun on my shoulders, my sunkissed hair, and uniquely, the sensation of water rocking me, long after I leave the waters and as I approach Morpheus.
I work with clay using three different techniques: coiling, slab work, and pinching. The intuition of my hand movements working the clay gives way to the collection. I present my memories, the people I shared my life with, and the shells and stones that are still with me – everything I used to call home, and no longer is.
In this collection, I am navigating myself. Nearly four years removed from what I used to call home, a sea of doubts begin to surface within me. When life falters, the future is uncertain, and storms are upon me, my mind veers to a place where I was always happy.
In these moments, my capricious mind transports me to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, where I played, loved, and cried and where the soothing waves washed away my troubles.
This is an introspective voyage of where I come from and who I am – a woman from the Mediterranean.
I come from the Mediterranean, even though I now sail oceans.
If I am to have a course, I must remember where I come from.
