Abstract
This thesis explores the phenomena of solitude and self-reflection, particularly focusing on women. Through ceramic sculptures, I capture the essence of quiet, introspective moments, where the figures exist free from the constraints of objectification and external gaze. These sculptures embody a sense of weightlessness, suspended in time, plucked from intimate moments of reflection and thought. The figures are presented as though floating between reality and dream, with a surface that evokes a sense of ambiguity—a dreamlike quality—achieved through the use of milk paint and translucent skin tones that blur the boundary between the tangible and the imagined daydream world.
