"Inspiration, Perseverance, and Letting Go," 2023, Ceramic; 6" x 6" x 6" (15.24 x 15.24 x 15.24 cm)

I was inspired by a New Mexican pot's simple form and sgraffito design. The gradient is a natural result of the Raku firing. Making this pot taught me patience, persistence, and letting go, no matter what the outcome is. The lessons we acquire in the process are more important than the end product.
