Muliebré

I was drawn to the moment when a form begins to rise—to the tension between what remains grounded and what reaches beyond itself. Through this sculpture, I explored the idea of transformation. The clay gathers at the base, building a body of layered folds that gradually rise toward the light. Each fold holds a trace of movement, as though the material were still in the process of becoming something else. The exposed bulb is intentional. Unlike a light hidden within a chamber, it stands openly above the sculptural form, fragile and luminous. It creates a contrast between the organic body beneath it and the clarity of the light above—a meeting of matter and energy, weight and elevation. The work reflects a personal fascination with becoming: the ways we grow beyond the forms that once held us, and how something new can emerge without erasing where it began. For me, Emergence is about transformation rather than origin. It is the moment after the beginning, when something once contained finds its own presence in the world.
