Oyster Series is a sculptural meditation on decadence—both its glamour and its decay. Centered on the oyster as a rich symbolic form, the series unpacks the mollusc’s complex journey from humble sustenance to culinary luxury. Once the food of the poor, oysters are now synonymous with indulgence, exclusivity, and excess.
These ceramic works revel in the oyster’s inherent duality: the coarse, irregular shell gives way to a shimmering, mother-of-pearl interior—an unassuming creature hiding a luminous world. That tension between the raw and the refined, the grotesque and the exquisite, is where decadence lives. Not simply in luxury, but in the collapse of boundaries between beauty and ruin, appetite and restraint.
The presence of pearls—formed through time, friction, and secrecy—adds another layer of opulence and metamorphosis. In Oyster Series, decadence becomes not only aesthetic, but conceptual: an inquiry into how value is shaped, how desire is constructed, and how transformation can be both violent and sublime.
