Roots (2026) Original Drawing by Alejos

This vase speaks of openings that allow us to see: cracks, fissures, windows, doors, and so on. The pot displays elements like white roots that leave gaps, necessary for root aeration. This also speaks of learning, from childhood to adulthood, to look outside, at other things, people, and places, in order to learn. To step outside one's own head. The pot sits on the kitchen counter, like the head of a pot brimming with potential recipes, traditional and contemporary, perhaps even future ones. Overall, it speaks of mental openness, of emerging from symbolic darkness into the light.
