#pottery

Back then, I was a marketing representative for an asset management firm in Penang, Malaysia. It was a steady job, and I had supportive managers who allowed me to take ownership of my work. It was a client-facing role, and over time, I realized it wasn't the best fit for my personality, even though I learned and grew a lot from the job. After the pandemic, I started feeling burned out. Deep down, I always knew a 9-to-5 wasn't meant to be my long-term path.

The process started with carving gold foam to explore forms and figure out what shapes worked best. After that, the team experimented with blending recycled bisque-fired ceramics.

The phenomenon of hot people making pottery online reduces the craft to an aesthetic trend, overshadowing the meaningful, historic art form that has long enriched daily life.
