The My Unusable Teapot Series serves as a foundational exploration that paved the way for my subsequent Life Vessels Series. In this initial phase, I delved into the art of pottery, transforming simple vessels into intricate works of art. Each piece was characterized by its unique scale, the intentional voids, and the tempestuous lids that intruded upon the inner spaces, creating a dialogue between form and emptiness. This period marked a significant journey of experimentation with clay, allowing me to push the boundaries of my creativity. It was a time of discovery, where I began to understand the deeper meanings behind my creations, which would later be fully realized in the art produced in my later series.
