Held Breath, Heavy Ground is a unique hand-built ceramic sculpture from Stella Arion’s stoneware series exploring pressure, balance and material transformation.
The work is conceived as an autonomous sculptural object rather than a functional vessel. Its vertical form combines a grounded base with an open, lifted upper structure, creating a tension between weight and upward movement. Folded planes, compressed surfaces and architectural edges give the piece a strong physical presence, while the open interior introduces depth and visual movement.
Built by hand using coiling, Held Breath, Heavy Ground carries subtle traces of touch, pressure and material adjustment. The sculpture is made from white stoneware and finished with industrial glazes developed through extensive testing. Its surface moves between deep black, metallic reflection and textured shadow, giving the work a layered and tactile material quality.
As a collectible design object, Held Breath, Heavy Ground can be placed as an independent sculptural piece on a plinth, console, shelf or architectural surface. It is a unique piece.
Unique hand-built ceramic sculpture. Not watertight or food safe. For indoor display only. Handle with care and avoid impact, frost and prolonged direct sunlight.
