A tall, cylindrical vessel with a heavily textured turquoise surface occupies the pedestal with quiet monumentality. Concentric, almost topographic grooves circle the body in irregular bands, their raised rims catching light and casting subtle shadows across the pitted, granular glaze that suggests mineral encrustation and weathered patina. Viewed closely the object balances craft and abstraction: the hand-carved rhythms evoke tree rings or water ripples while the jewel-like blue-green coloration reads like oxidized metal or sea glass.

The work feels both ancient and contemporary, an artifact that invites tactile study and slow contemplation of surface, depth, and time.
