Working with clay

My introduction to ceramics may seem like a coincidence, but it was actually the answer to a long search. Over the years, I worked in different fields, always productive in a fast-paced life, but there was a search for silence within me. One day, when I touched clay, I felt I had found that silence.
Ceramics is not just an art form for me. In every form, I rediscover nature's balance, simplicity, and tranquility. The moment I touch clay, time slows down. Every piece I shape with my hands is actually a reflection of my inner world.
When working with clay, there is no room for anything else; just you, your breath, and the peace of being in the moment. That's why every creation is like a form of meditation for me. Some days I play with colors, some days only with textures. In each, I find a different feeling, a different silence.
Ceramics remind me that life, like clay, takes shape. With patience, with love, sometimes with waiting... Each piece is beautiful with its imperfections, its naturalness, just as it is.
Just like life.
