About the Project

Grounds for Recovery presents a collapsing system placed on a fertile foundation. The work consists of a collection of ceramic pieces that reference soil, growth, decay, and unrealized potential. Arranged on a table, the installation carries a concealed message that reflects the impact of change within interconnected systems. Through material, form, and placement, the project invites close observation of what is visible and what remains hidden.
