Witherless Flower is a ceramic object that began as a gift Gangryu created for her mother. The artist’s mother disliked receiving fresh flowers, as their withering felt like an ominous sign to her. In response, Gangryu sought to create a flower that would never fade and could remain over time.
The work is characterized by natural soil contained within a ceramic pot, and each piece is individually handcrafted by the artist using a hand-building technique. To date, approximately 270 unique variations of Witherless Flower have been produced, and in addition to available works, custom orders can be made in various forms and colors.
-Each ceramic piece is individually handmade. Variations in shape, color, texture, and surface finish are natural characteristics of the making process and should not be considered defects.
-Ceramics are durable but may break or chip if dropped or subjected to strong impact. Please handle with care.
-Unless otherwise specified, ceramic works are suitable for everyday use. Hand washing is recommended to preserve the surface and finish. Avoid sudden temperature changes, as extreme thermal shock may cause cracking.
-Some pieces may develop natural aging marks over time depending on use and environment. These changes are part of the material’s character and evolution.
