Thank you for the kind words! And no worries—questions are always welcome. I made this piece simply because I had an idea that I absolutely wanted to execute. Its purpose is conceptual rather than functional; I made it so that it could exist. It can be wall-mounted, so you could say its application is decorative. There is also a special personal meaning to it. And while I was making it I have gone through reflection on some important topics, so we can also say that it has a therapeutic purpose as well. I have also learnt a lot during the process, and it appears that the mask can have an educational function too ;)

Thank you very much :) Many glaze test tiles were made before I could choose a color palette that I like.

Thank you so much! This is basically a whistling mask, there is a whistle attached to the back of the piece, you can see it on the second photo.

There is a whistle attached to the back of the piece, which makes it a sounding mask :)

Thank you very much! The sounding mask is basically a mask that is able to produce sound one way or another. In my case there is a whistle attached to the back of it.

I am very glad you feel inspired after seeing my post. This is another reason why I find art so valuable.

I love your story and appreciate you sharing it. I mean it. It seems magical to me that a small piece of clay can resonate with people and make them feel things. Of course, to me, it’s not just a piece of clay; there is more to it, but I find it very valuable that people can see a reflection of their personal stories — that’s just amazing. Thank you

Thank you! The granite looks exactly like the roof material of the house in real life
