Women, as per the ancient greek philosophers, are wet, wild, and wanton, and Sappho may be the very archetype. She is the shape of escape, of mutating boundaries, and of confounding the boundaries of those who try to contain her flow*. She is aqueous passion set against the dry logos of the male, recalling the yin and yang of Chinese philosophy.

The VESSEL collection is a meditation on what it means to hold, figuratively and literally. Aesthetically inspired by the ceramic tradition of China, each piece in the collection is an intimate reminder of presence and essence in our daily.
