The composition features a metallic, textured meteoroid-shaped base paired with a small vessel that appears deformed upon impact. Raku-fired with a white crackle glaze, the vessel takes on an otherworldly quality, evoking the fractured, dynamic surfaces found in extraterrestrial environments.

About the Work:

“Meteoroid” is a sculptural composition that visualizes the moment of impact between a ceramic vessel and a meteoroid in space. This work explores the violent history of collisions and material accumulation, processes central to planetary formation and investigated in the Psyche mission. The composition features a metallic, textured meteoroid-shaped base paired with a small vessel that appears deformed upon impact, its form altered by force and tension as it fuses into the surface. Raku-fired with a white crackle glaze, the vessel takes on an otherworldly quality, evoking the fractured, dynamic surfaces found in extraterrestrial environments.
