The Family

This high-luxury ceramic three-sugar set was created as a deeply personal representation of family and its dynamics. Each arrangement speaks to protection, responsibility, and unconditional care.

The front dish is composed solely of a ceramic plate with sugar dishes, intentionally designed without a bowl. This absence symbolizes vulnerability and exposure. It represents me — a man navigating life without a shield, yet still expected to endure, provide, and succeed.

Behind it stand two complete ceramic settings, each composed of a plate, bowl, and sugar dish. These pieces represent my sisters, or alternatively my mother and my sisters — those who are protected, nurtured, and held. They reflect the presence of care, softness, and support that surrounds them.

This work speaks to the reality of growing up in a family where fathers were absent during formative adolescent years, leaving protection to be assumed rather than shared. My mother embodies natural, unwavering care for her children. And I stand as the shield — their shield — carrying the weight of protection, resilience, and responsibility.

This collection is not merely ceramic tableware; it is a sculptural narrative of survival, love, and strength.
The family of three.
