Don’t grow up too much.
This rider remembers – not with words, but with movement. His rocking horse still sways gently, just like it did when dreams were wild and time was elastic. He carries no sword, no plan – only a long orange scarf, a pointy hat, and the deep knowledge that being silly is sacred.

Made entirely by hand from stoneware clay, this sculpture rocks – literally. The horse is fully functional and gently sways, inviting you to take a moment and remember. Childhood isn’t gone; it’s just waiting for you to call it back.

Glazed in warm earth tones, with carefully carved textures and bright playful colors, the piece blends humor, poetry, and craftsmanship. A small rebellion against seriousness. A gentle nudge to the soul: “Come play.”

Clay, Glazes, Engobes
