My almost obsession with the cup comes from a belief that in its utility and intimacy it is a canvas with the power to quietly connect with the utmost consideration. It inherently captures and preserves the nuances of its maker like a kind of poetry or portraiture and is crafted with the same amount of care it is later collected, kept, and cradled with. The purpose of the pot begins in its process and later becomes to enrich the most mundane of moments when we find ourselves lost in contemplation and conversation while in the comfort of its quiet company.
