Reliquaries of Ash and Air

Reliquaries of Air and Ash is a growing collection of ceramic works that explore what remains when the sacred has eroded. Each piece is a kind of wounded architecture—a vessel built to protect what can no longer be kept. Fractured, wired, or pierced open, these reliquaries echo the desire to preserve love, memory, or belief even as they slip away. Drawing on the language of shrines and containers, the works hover between devotion and disillusionment, their surfaces carrying the quiet trace of something once cherished, now lost. Formed from clay, ash, and wire, they ask: what happens when the reliquary outlives what it was made to hold?
