At the Révélations Biennial at the Grand Palais 2025, a trio of ceramic wall panels was presented as part of a commission for the designer and artist Amande Haeghen. In this project, Amande and I developed the panel series together, from production to creative collaboration, I was deeply involved in bringing her vision to life, always attentive to her aesthetic and conceptual goals.

 This trio of panels was part of a larger body of work that included sculptural pieces such as Black Dahlia and Mãe of Glass, a selection of Wandlamps, and smaller framed glass compositions (frame works). Together, these elements formed a cohesive installation that explored memory, material transformation, and the dialogue between utility and poetry. Each of the three panels offers a different reflection on memory and intergenerational transmission, using stoneware and fused glass to express these themes of transformation, erosion, and emotional inheritance.

 The first panel resembles a monumental watercolor. Composed of nine individual parts, its softly blended tones melt beneath a layer of glass. The glass used was made from remnants of previous sconce collections, giving new life to discarded material, a quiet homage to both past and present.

 The second panel draws inspiration from the raw beauty of nature and the slow erosion of time. Its richly textured surface combines stoneware and fused glass to evoke a changing landscape, a poetic meditation on what remains, what shifts, and what gradually fades away.

 The third and final panel explores the weight of intergenerational trauma. Crafted from nine segments of black chamotted clay and coated in molten glass, its deeply textured surfaces reflect emotional scars passed silently from one generation to the next. The contrast between materials mirrors the tension between what is hidden and what endures.
