Path and Inspiration
As a psychologist specializing in art therapy based on clay, my work revolves around exploring the two different facets of my personality through ceramic objects. These two sides, which I refer to as my dependent and independent sides, serve as the main sources of inspiration in my creative process. One side is characterized by simplicity and plainness, while the other is vibrant and joyful.Process and Practice
