Connection
Many bring back shells, sand, sticks, and pinecones from their travels — their “artifacts.” These are achievements, small proofs of our presence in one place or another on the planet. A document of memory.
The sign of the mountain and the replica of real stone appeared in a porcelain object - pure, white, like a memory that one does not want to stain or complicate, just like a place that one does not want to devalue.
Some places are so self-sufficient that you don’t want to speak of them, as words would only be a feeble interpretation of memories. For me, the purity of conveying the impression was crucial. Authenticity and honesty. Attempts to capture the sensation through various artistic means only diminish the place. How do you avoid lying?
The only tangible thing that connects to the memory is a mountain stone, molded in porcelain. The entire essence of the memory now resides in this porcelain piece.
