1L Tears of Porcelain

Water is a part of life for clay, and the dryness of clay determines its plasticity. When the water evaporated, the clay body will slowly be dried, crack and become lifeless. I think the way water and clay coexist is beautiful but sad because at the same time they consume each other.

​

The concept is to redefine this sad way of existence and explore other forms of ceramics. So I thought about combining salt and slips to form 'tears'. I used the salt of the Dead Sea which has the highest saltiness and combined with porcelain slips. This time-lapse installation recorded how the salt water and ceramic water crystalized naturally and express a different life form of ceramic to the public.
