L’étreinte, céramique et bois, 63,5 x 58,5 cm, 2026

“Forms of Belonging explores the human need to belong, showing how — within an increasingly hostile social and political climate — the material world can become a space for recognition, foster a sense of proximity and help us feel part of a shared human community. Each interpretation of ceramics preserves and transmits gestures, relationships and memories, transforming matter into a place where individual and collective experiences can accumulate and endure.

Through the dialogue between contemporary artistic research, practices rooted in fine craftsmanship and collectible design, Forms of Belonging explores the shifting boundaries between these fields. Across the works on display, traditional techniques and practices coexist with experimental processes, while functional objects, sculptures, installations and narrative works reflect the breadth and vitality of contemporary ceramic practice.”
