Vessel "The Bullet Shell"
A Sculpture of Strength and Story — The Bullet Shell Vessel
Carved by time and fire, this vessel rises from ancient wood, its surface scarred, twisted, and alive with texture. Every knot and curve speaks of nature’s raw, untamed spirit — preserved, yet reborn as a functional piece of art.

Balancing the wildness is a single, striking detail: a spent bullet shell, repurposed as a support leg. It anchors the form, merging the organic and the industrial, the natural and the man-made, into a silent dialogue of resilience.
Here, destruction is transformed into creation. Memory becomes material.
More than a bowl, it is a statement — a tribute to endurance, transformation, and the enduring beauty found in imperfection.
The vessel stands as a testament to fire's transformative power — its surface charred into deep, textured valleys and ridges, like the weathered skin of ancient stone. Each burn mark whispers of controlled chaos, a dance between destruction and creation, forever frozen in form.
A soft, lustrous lacquer embraces the scorched surface, sealing its wild spirit beneath a glassy sheen. The contrast between the raw, primal texture and the sleek, polished finish creates a tension — a quiet conversation between nature’s wildness and human mastery. It is not just a vessel; it is a sculpture of resilience, bearing the beauty of flame and the patience of craftsmanship.
