A ceramic sculpture revealing the gap between an outer shell and what remains behind. The tailored vest, with its row of buttons, pockets, and tight belt, symbolizes formality and belonging, yet the missing body leaves it an empty shell, an echo of a vanished reality.
The ceramic material gives the garment rigidity and independence as if it no longer needs a body. The greenish, aged patina evokes an object preserved over time, a remnant of another era. The precise cuts maintain elegance but expose a hollow interior—was this an abandoned garment, an emptied figure, or armor telling a story of presence and absence?
