the vulnerable as a place of power
For thousands of years, we have used ceramic vessels to hold substances essential for life. From the maternity pot to the urn carrying our ashes, the vessel follows us through life.
I made this vessel to hold a moment of connection. Through the holes in my vessel, I want to invite you into an intimate space, that is often easier to hide, than to show and be proud of. I put in my doubts and fears and I saw them transform into energy. Through my vulnerability, I found a power, and I want to give it to you. In a time that calls for us to be strong, I urge, that we search for the strength in a place of softness, curiosity and joy. That we see the vulnerable as a place of power, because vulnerability is not weakness. It means, that behind the doubts and fear, there is something precious to cultivate and protect.
Now you have made loneliness
holy and usefull
and no longer needed
now
your light shines very brightly
but I want you
to know
your darkness also
rich
and beyond fear
-Audre Lorde
