Ceramic Wasp Cocoons is a unique sculptural work combining ceramic and wood, standing 91 cm high, 38 cm wide, and 34 cm deep. The piece presents a cluster of wasp cocoons arranged along the side of a raw, dried section of wood, creating a strong dialogue between crafted form and natural material.

The ceramic cocoons vary subtly in size and rise in a gentle curve, echoing organic growth patterns found in nature. Each nest appears hollowed, suggesting both fragility and function. Their surfaces are smooth and refined, allowing the natural creamy tone of the ceramic to remain soft and understated. This finish contrasts beautifully with the wood beside them.

The wooden element remains largely untreated, retaining a dry, raw texture with warm brown and cream hues. Its irregular surface adds visual weight and authenticity, grounding the composition. Together, the materials highlight contrast, smooth against rough, refined against raw.

The sculpture feels quietly architectural yet deeply natural. It draws attention to small, often overlooked structures in the natural world. As a result, Ceramic Wasp Cocoons balances delicacy and strength, offering a contemplative exploration of form, shelter, and coexistence.
