A self-referential mantra celebrating the medium itself, highlighting clay as both fragile and enduring.
These ceramic pieces re-imagine holy and belief cards, traditionally associated with devotion and
spiritual guidance, by infusing them with humor, regional identity, and material reverence. Each
card features a "Death" header, an engraved central ampersand or symbolic motif, and an
ending border reading "Taxes"—a nod to the inevitabilities of life.
Playing with light, inscription, and perception, the phrase "believe" is subtly engraved, revealing
itself only when viewed at an angle, reinforcing the ephemeral and faith-based nature of seeing.
Instead of religious affirmations, the cards contain cheeky, culturally specific sayings.
Ceramic engraved text and cut out text.
