Soft Sculptures
The vessel became alive
Broken Jar began as an ordinary vessel, made to hold whatever was placed inside. For years it carried other people's expectations, pressure, and emotions. Then something changed. It grew a head to think, arms to reach, and legs to leave. It became a creature: no longer only a container, but not entirely free of its past. Its cracks are evidence of what it survived.

FROM THE ARTIST
The Chinese expression po guan zi po shuai names the moment someone stops preserving perfection. This sculpture asks whether breaking means losing value—or beginning to become something new.
