Vessels of Surrender is a ceramic collection shaped by my daily ritual of swimming in the ocean at sunrise. This practice has become both delight and discipline — a steady, grounding conversation between mind and body as I step into the cold water and surrender to the presence of the sea. Each morning unfolds differently: the ocean shifts, the sky transforms, and colours move between muted pastels and spectacular, saturated horizons.
This ritual has also become a profound source of connection. My soul has been deeply nourished by the community of sunrise swimmers — a gathering of raw, unguarded bodies, stripped of facades and social masks. Together we enter the water and collectively embrace the perfection of letting go. This shared vulnerability, strength, and openness has become a new kind of belonging for me, one that I had not experienced before.
Pottery echoes this rhythm and this community. The discipline of wheel work, the repetition, and the quiet surrender required in the making process mirror my mornings in the water. The pottery community, too, feeds and inspires me — a growing tribe bound by creativity, curiosity, and the desire to make. Both spaces return me to presence and remind me of the power of shared experience. The cold ocean arrests and heals; clay steadies and centres.
The glazes in this collection offer a space to explore the moods of these ocean mornings — their softness, turbulence, and unpredictability. Layered, reactive surfaces capture the textures of foam, sand, sea spray, and shifting tide lines. The movement and drippy qualities mirror water in motion: the ebb and flow, the surge of current, and the gentle pooling of dawn light on the surface.
