The Black Jar is a hybrid creation crafted from African ebony, uniting the techniques of woodturning and woodcarving in a single sculptural form. Its silky gloss surface contrasts with the finely incised carving textures, embodying both softness in appearance and an undeniable density and weight in presence.
It holds a paradoxical allure—like an inner self patiently refined and polished to give rise to a rich and composed exterior. Evoking the image of black tears, the piece carries a quiet depth, at once restrained and profoundly expressive.
