Personality Traits

Artist Statement:

An experimental terracotta piece created by hollowing out the sculpture before firing. The process required slow drying and the gradual removal of material from the interior over more than a month to achieve the desired wall thickness, followed by thorough sanding. Upon exiting the kiln, a section on the back of the sculpture detached where it hadn't properly bonded. I find this outcome fitting for the theme; it serves as a cathartic conclusion that despite intense self-work and the illusion of perfection, personality still reveals its flaws under pressure.
