Something Must Break

This exhibition explores the delicate balance between endurance and collapse. Constructed from wild clay slips saturated with spun silica and fired with glazes derived from iron slag, the ceramic works in "Something Must Break" carry the geological and industrial weight of transformation. Alongside these, cast iron forms embody strength and brittleness, evoking the contradictions of survival under pressure.

 Developed in response to shifting exhibition logistics and spatial constraints, the installation focuses on fracture, improvisation, and adaptation as its central themes. Something Must Break interrogates identity in flux through raw materiality and stark spatial arrangements—how bodies, systems, and selves respond when forced to the edge.

 This work reflects a lived experience of navigating constraints, instability, and resilience. It serves as a personal meditation and a broader critique of how transformation emerges through rupture.
