At its core, Female War / I Am Pottery appears to be a meditation on how women endure, shape, and are shaped by conflict—both internal and external. The phrase declares a radical identity: not a soldier with a weapon, but a vessel. A thing formed from earth, fired in a kiln (the "war"), and capable of holding life, memory, or shards.
If this were an exhibition, you would walk into a room of cracked pots repaired with gold (kintsugi), bullet-riddled jugs, and unfired clay figures of women standing like sentinels. The "war" is not of guns but of societal pressure, domestic violence, political upheaval, or the quiet battle for autonomy. The "I am pottery" is a defiant reclamation: I am breakable, but I am also the one who holds water. I am fired, therefore I am strong. female war i am pottery
