Between climate and society, reciprocal relations take place: climate change influences humankind and their way of life. On the other hand, human activity, such as various substance emissions, affects the climate on earth.
Climate change affects not only humans but all living creatures in the biotic environment.
These changes are reflected, amongst others, in the growth rings structure of tree trunks and in the size of certain seashells. The size and width of the shells is influenced by temperature, PH levels and the limestone concentration in the seas and oceans, which are once more, affected by climate change.
Material research:

This series of partially usable vessels is made of soft textile molds into which porcelain was casted, changing and distorting the structure of the mold.
The vessels were inspired by the netted, layered, and coiled structure of the Mediterranean seashells. Their slightly distorted shape echoes the destructive footprints of human activity upon nature.

We force nature to operate according to our terms. This is a critical work, aiming to raise humankind’s awareness of their actions. We’re used to communicating with one another in a shared language and making tools and vessels for ourselves to create a more comfortable environment. Nature speaks in different ways.

Schronological findings show us past occurrences through organic artifacts, including seashells.
By the visual marks, you can tell what had happened in that shell’s growth layer and how it had slowly died out.
This project exhibits partially usable and partially unusable vessels.

Vessels we’re accustomed to using in our home daily life- jug, cup and pot, inspired by the seashell structure.
