Saggar Sonance is created with saggar clay mixed with recycled grog—fragments of discarded saggars once used in kilns to protect porcelain. Having endured the ordeal of high temperatures, these fragments are reborn as the “bones” of the work, transforming from industrial remnants into fertile ground for life. Ceramics thus cease to be a solidified eternity, becoming instead a living vessel—porous, permeable, and open to the participation of nature.

The work unfolds as a dialogue between ceramics and the earth. Its forms recall both bones and vessels of the wind. Plants sprout through the pores, making the pieces appear to grow from the soil itself, while the wind passes through as if playing an unseen instrument. Fragility and resilience intertwine here—the delicacy of ceramics and the tenacity of plants coexisting in a subtle symbiosis that speaks of balance and renewal over time. Installed within an abandoned factory now reclaimed by vegetation, these forms carry the weight of memory and ruin while gesturing toward future possibility, together composing a micro-historical epic of industrial heritage and natural regeneration.
