This clay sculpture, created using the raku technique, depicts a seated human figure in a contemplative pose.

The piece stems from a desire to capture a moment of introspection, a fleeting instant when the external world fades, giving way to inner dialogue. The inspiration comes from observing people lost in thought, often in silence, and the aim was to transform this reflection into a tangible form. 
The choice of raku, with its unpredictability and unique texture, perfectly reflects the authentic and imperfect nature of the human condition. The contrast between the rough surfaces and the blue accents adds depth, evoking the fragility and beauty of life. The wooden base, simple and natural, supports the figure and emphasizes its connection to the earth.
The intention is to inspire in the viewer a sense of calm and connection to their inner self. The selected material and style not only enhance the uniqueness of the piece but also invite the observer to pause, reflect, and find a moment of peace in an often chaotic world. This sculpture is an invitation to meditation and mindfulness of the present moment.
