different physical states: incomplete, bound, and
broken. I chose the clay as a basic material because of
its special quality: it is soft in the beginning, and during
the baking process it hardens and gains a new nature,
like certain processes that change and harden the
inner-selves of people.

The human pattern made me deal with human changes,
or metamorphosis. I began to wonder: Does a change
in a form also bring a change in the essence of the
material? Is the new product better or just different?

These questions and others made my human patterns
change in colors and forms. Some of them grew wings
or other parts. I concluded that we people have a
secret wish for metamorphosis; we want, for example,
to fly like birds, but knowing that we will not have
wings makes us invent all kind of instruments that will
help us to be different from what we really are.
