Ceramic Art Therapy

In life, things happen. This is a piece of art that I made today, when I was feeling overwhelmed by a lot of negative emotions. I was missing someone I loved, facing the fear of death, and grieving the loss of a friend. I was also unhappy with how things were going in my life. I went to the clay studio, hoping to find some peace. But the clay was not cooperating with me. It was telling me that I needed a way to let out my feelings.

I decided to scrap my original project which wasn’t working at all and create something new. I put together the pieces of my failed work into a new shape. It didn’t matter if it looked good or not. It was for me, and me alone. Doing this, helped me release my feelings. It gave me a visual representation of what I was going through. Ultimately, it made me feel better.

This is greenware. I have some work to do with it and I am uncertain that it will make it in this form.

I’m sharing this piece of art with you, not because I want your approval or praise, but because I want to connect with you. Maybe you have felt something similar, or maybe you know someone who has. Maybe you can relate to my art, or maybe you can learn something from it. Maybe you can support me, or maybe you need support yourself. Whatever the case, I hope you can appreciate my art and my story. Thank you for listening.
