"Ball Boy" is a powerful study of human movement and vertical energy. The figure is captured in mid-air, a plastic and acrobatic silhouette that seems to vibrate against the textured background. The monochrome palette and the distressed, grainy finish give the image a vintage quality, as if it were a rediscovered fragment of history. The permanent weight of the handmade ceramic grounds this fleeting moment of athletic prowess, creating a fascinating contrast between lightness and matter.
The Alchemical Process: This piece is a result of a refined fusion between photographic memory and fire. The image is transformed through a textural layering of ceramic engobes and high-quality enamels. Fixed by a high-temperature firing at 980°C, the materials reach a state of molecular fusion with the clay, ensuring the colors remain unalterable over time. Every crack and chromatic variation is a unique signature of the kiln's heat.
