Through this translation of a thought, I delve into the aesthetics of juxtaposition and the emotions it can evoke. The intention is to explore the intriguing area between a smooth and vibrant blue interior contrasted with a rough, unglazed exterior. The piece has been thrown on the wheel in two parts before being joined together in a stepped-in cylindrical form.

The experiment aims to emphasize the interplay between the contrasting textures of an object's back-to-back skin, inviting viewers to contemplate the significance of surface texture in hand and its potential impact on the overall aesthetic experience. I encourage reflection upon the emotions and thoughts this contrast may provoke and how it can serve as a wellspring of inspiration. Thinking of this object as the central subject, it contemplates the intricate relationship between surface texture and the visual narrative of an artwork. Ultimately, as an invitation to appreciate the depth and complexity inherent in the perception of aesthetics.
