Description

This ceramic piece explores the unstoppable force of nature reclaiming what humanity builds. The man's face, visibly distorted under the pressure of a single leaf, symbolizes the inevitability of nature’s resurgence. Over time, even the strongest man-made structures fade, erode, and become part of the earth again. The leaf, though delicate in appearance, represents the quiet power of nature—patient, persistent, and ultimately dominant. This work serves as a reminder that no matter how much we shape the world, nature always finds a way to take back what was once hers.
