The incense holders marked the beginning of my ceramic object practice, introducing a sculptural collection rooted in ritual, atmosphere, and sensory storytelling. Each piece was hand built without molds, allowing the forms to retain the subtle character of the handmade process while remaining minimal and intentional in design. Alongside the objects, I developed a cohesive visual world through photography, video, styling, packaging, and digital storytelling, creating a system that translated seamlessly across social content, e-commerce, and campaign imagery while preserving a consistent sense of mood, materiality, and calm. The collection has since expanded into retail and hospitality spaces, with the visual direction informing packaging, merchandising, photography, and digital presentation across every touchpoint.
