Spirit in Bloom

Spirit in Bloom is a stunning sculptural fusion of polymer clay and ceramic, transforming a sleek black vase into a powerful statement piece. It symbolizes the unfolding of inner strength, beauty, and ancestral energy. The beautifully sculpted face emerging from the vase evokes a sense of ancestral strength and timeless beauty—grounded yet awakening—while the surrounding blossoms and vines express vitality, transformation, and divine connection.

The contrast between the deep, matte ceramic surface and the luminous polymer flowers reflects the harmony between resilience and grace, echoing the ways Black women embody both power and gentleness. Each petal becomes an emblem of spiritual growth — the soul’s natural instinct to bloom even in challenging soil.

This piece invites viewers to reflect on renewal and identity: how the creative spirit continually blossoms through generations, carrying stories of survival, healing, and radiance. In Spirit in Bloom, the vessel becomes more than an object — it is a living testament to cultural memory, feminine energy, and the sacred act of becoming.
