Devotion No. 2

This sculptural vase by Sivim Ly was designed to captivate with its dynamic movement and rich texture while maintaining a functional vessel as its foundation. Drawing inspiration from the ornate metalwork frequently found throughout Brooklyn, Sivim translates the graceful curves and bends of decorative gates into fluid ceramic form.

The vessel's dramatic rippled collar and spiraling handles pay homage to the opulent decorative arts of the past, infused with a profound sense of romanticism and humanistic emotion. Sivim Ly, a Cambodian designer and ceramicist, creates works that merge softness with whimsical elegance through her combined slab and coiling techniques, resulting in pieces that feel both timeless and distinctly contemporary.
