Created during a solitary California winter, Olivia emerged from moments of introspection and the ache of watching others celebrate while feeling alone. This striking red stoneware sculpture transforms personal vulnerability into powerful artistic expression, capturing the raw emotions of isolation and the strength found within solitude.

NJH's hand-built ceramic vessel showcases his signature technique of layering thick clay coils and individually shaping organic protuberances that seem to emerge protectively from the surface. The Southern California artist's meticulous process creates sculptural pieces that speak to our universal need for both beauty and protection.
