A pierced ceramic form that resembles a carved mask or lantern, finished in a gray ground splashed with vivid red speckles. The openings—two eye‑like ovals above a larger, irregular mouth—create dramatic negative spaces and lend the object an anthropomorphic, expressive quality. The contrast between the raw, fractured edges of the apertures and the playful red paint splatters produces a tension between violence and celebration.

Its scale and carved hollows suggest the piece functions as a three‑dimensional study in silhouette and shadow as much as a standalone sculptural object.
