ZEMIA

Drawing on the earliest methods of shaping clay, the work explores archaic paradigms of beauty and strength. Bearing the name “Zemia,” which means “earth” in Kashubian, it is a nod to the primordial imagery of this element. Referencing these archetypes, the vessels are an expression of gratitude to his parents for their manual labor and respect for the earth. Exploring ambiguous forms, the vessels almost look as if they themselves have sprung from the earth. It is an ode to the eternally powerful, life-giving, nurturing forces of nature.
