Texture only in Thimi

Photographing walls, ground, and kiln structures of indigenous pottery community, I treat clay as both material and memory. These spaces exist in a constant state of becoming—wet, drying, cracking, waiting to be fired. The images explore how craft extends beyond objects into surrounding, revealing a landscape where living, working, and making are inseparable.
