Fire Within
Hand-built paper pulp clay, hand-painted
35 cm (H) × 109 cm (circumference)

Fire Within is a sculptural vessel that embodies the quiet power of the inner flame, the unseen force that fuels our drive to create, endure, and leave our mark. Its rounded, textural form is interrupted by darkened hollows that suggest glowing embers within, a subtle reminder of the fire that lives inside us all, even in moments of stillness or uncertainty.

Lovingly hand-built from upcycled paper pulp clay and finished by hand, the piece carries both fragility and strength in its surface. The material’s softness contrasts with the work’s emotional weight, reflecting the delicate balance between vulnerability and resilience.

Fire Within stands as a gentle tribute to human belief, hope and perseverance.
