This ceramic sculpture captures a moment of quiet contemplation, as a young girl sits cross-legged, exuding a sense of calm and balance. The cushion placed atop her head introduces an intriguing contrast, balancing delicately on its edge, blurring the line between functionality and ornamentation. While it resembles a hat, its true purpose remains ambiguous, challenging the viewer to question the object’s symbolic meaning. The figure's serene posture and the unconventional placement of the cushion invite reflection on the weight of everyday objects and their role in shaping our identities, while the smooth, tactile surface of the ceramic encourages a tactile connection between the viewer and the work.
