About
Exhibition
Unearthed is a group exhibition rooted in the idea that transforming raw materials like clay into ceramic through heat mirrors, on a smaller scale, the geological processes that have shaped the Earth's crust over millennia.

About
Using materials such as clay deposits, mineral-rich rocks, and silica sands—whether employed as the primary medium or as points of reference to simulate, record, or reimagine geological and territorial changes—Unearthed traces not only the origins of ceramics but also the processes that shape its forms. The works in the exhibition carry embedded narratives of deep time and material histories, evoking the interplay of tectonic forces, compression, and fracture that sculpt the planet's surface.

- Theme
- Transforming raw materials like clay into ceramics through heat as a metaphor for geological processes. The exhibition explores ceramics' intrinsic connections to land, place, and geology, featuring works that use clay deposits, mineral-rich rocks, and silica sands as primary mediums or points of reference to simulate, record, or reimagine geological and territorial changes.
