The Reader – Whispers of Wings

📖 I love to read. Not just with my eyes. I read with my soul.

When I work with clay, I lose myself in the same stillness I find when I open a book and let the words carry me away.
In my studio, with my hands deep in the earth and the narrator's voice in the background, something magical happens: a world lights up inside me—made of pages, dreams, and fluttering butterflies.

This sculpture is the portrait of that moment.
Of me finding peace. Of me escaping.
Of the little girl I still am, who loves to sit quietly, breathe slowly, and be carried by a story.

Some sculptures tell a story. This one... reads.

Technical notes
The sculpture is hand-modelled in pink clay, decorated with engobes and glazes. 

The sculpture underwent two firings.

The little face is as small as a hazelnut. The curls are applied one by one and are made of delicate clay strips rolled on themselves.

The leather is made of natural clay.
