The Ungrateful Reptile & The Flaky Butterfly is a self-portrait of Akshara and Prakruthi as they see themselves in 2026. Two unlikely characters, hanging out together and moving through the world with curiosity, wonder and a little bit of chaos. Made from a playful mix of discarded and repurposed materials, the work reflects their shared fascination with everything around them figuring things out as they go, enjoying the strange, ordinary and unexpected moments along the way.

Things We Put in Our Hair is a delicate brass work inspired by the small, personal objects and adornments we use to express ourselves. Fine wire-like forms, whimsical motifs, and organic silhouettes come together in a composition that feels both sculptural and ephemeral. The subtle warmth of brass gives the piece an understated elegance, while its playful forms invite associations with jewellery, hair ornaments, insects, creatures, and fragments of memory. Designed to be appreciated up close, the artwork celebrates the beauty found in everyday rituals of adornment. A charming collectible for those who appreciate handcrafted brasswork, intimate storytelling, and contemporary objects with a sense of whimsy.

Thorned Beauty explores the contrast between delicacy and defence. The sculptural ceramic form is intentionally raw and organic, its thorn covered body holding a delicate arrangement of flowers at its centre. The contrast between the fragile blooms and the rugged, protective exterior gives the piece its character beautiful, strange and unapologetically imperfect. The Raku fired finish further enhances its earthy, tactile quality.

Dew Drops is a sculptural ceramic vase inspired by the fluidity of natural forms. Its rounded, flowing body is punctuated by organic shapes and subtle protrusions, creating the feeling of something grown rather than made. The Raku fired finish adds depth and variation to the surface, allowing the piece to shift between earthy, metallic and iridescent tones.

Portrait of a Lady is a striking contemporary portrait defined by bold colour and stylised form. The figure’s luminous yellow green complexion contrasts dramatically with deep blue hair and a vivid red garment, creating an arresting visual presence. Intricate, sculptural lines shape the hair and frame the face, giving the portrait an almost fantastical quality. Rather than pursuing conventional realism, the work uses colour, geometry, and expression to create a character that feels both familiar and otherworldly.

Prickly transforms the familiar form of a vase into something wild and almost otherworldly. Its irregular silhouette is covered in sharp, organic protrusions, while the Raku firing creates a richly textured surface with deep, shifting tones. Equal parts functional object and sculptural piece, Prickly brings an unexpected edge to the traditional idea of a decorative vase.

Happy / Sad, in your Hand is a playful reflection on the emotional duality we carry with us. Two hand mirrors become vessels for contrasting moods one happy, one sad while their imperfect, textured surfaces and scattered crystals add a sense of tenderness and humour to the work. The mirrors invite us to look at ourselves while also questioning what we see. With their little resin teeth appearing almost like smiles, the familiar object becomes something slightly strange and characterful.
