Echoes of Fire is a collection born from the intimate dialogue between porcelain, flame, and time. Each piece is created through a saggar-firing process, where the vessel is enclosed within a protective container packed with organic materials and combustibles such as dried grass and flowers, woodchips, banana peels, seaweed, and mineral elements- most sourced out from the gardens of the atelier. During firing, the flames, fumes, and minerals leave unpredictable imprints—traces of fire that become permanent echoes on the porcelain surface.

The process is one of surrender as much as control: I prepare each piece with intention, shaping and refining the porcelain form by throwing and hand-building techniques, then airbrush selected surfaces with oxides and layer the saggar with natural matter that will transform under heat. Once sealed inside, the work enters the kiln, where fire becomes both collaborator and storyteller. The results are never fully known until the kiln is opened.

The interiors are glazed with a transparent finish—sometimes satin, glossy, or matte—to preserve functionality, while the exteriors are left to carry the marks of transformation. Every vessel holds a memory of its passage through the elements: fire’s intensity, air’s currents, and earth’s minerals all leaving their signatures.

This collection reflects my ongoing exploration of resilience, impermanence, and the beauty of transformation. Each piece is singular—an echo of fire, captured in porcelain, never to be repeated.
