🎨 Imagine a world where your memories don't live in a phone or cloud but in the curve of a clay vessel. That's the journey Lebanese ceramicist Samar Mougharbel is inviting us on.
During her residency in Jingdezhen City, Jiangxi Province, in the Chinese mainland, Samar dove into the ancient ceramics capital of the world. A member of the International Academy of Ceramics, UNESCO, she explored centuries-old techniques and local glazes to shape a brand-new series of works.
Samar believes our five senses—sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell—are powerful, yet they're bound by time and space. Her secret weapon? Fired clay. Once sculpted and fired, clay becomes eternal, preserving stories long after we're gone. It's like turning a playlist of memories into an unbreakable sculpture ⏳✨.
Her pieces blend Lebanese heritage and Chinese ceramic tradition, creating a cultural bridge that speaks to art lovers, travelers and young creators everywhere. For the digital generation, these tactile artworks become a reminder that some treasures are best experienced face-to-face.
Whether you're a news junkie, an aspiring entrepreneur eyeing global markets, or part of the Asian diaspora reconnecting with roots, Samar's work shows how art can transcend borders—and even time. Keep an eye on her growing collection as she continues to shape human stories in clay.
