About the Artwork

Drawing from Claudia’s interest in art history, the Kairos series explores the mythological concept of time in relation to the natural environment.
Kairos is defined as the opportune moment that allows transformation to happen. Metaphorically, Kairos is present when a shoot breaks through the soil toward the light, buds open into flowers or pods burst into seeds. These changes release micro-particles of soil echoed in the wild clay residue that dusts the vessels.

Kairos represents the artist’s abstraction of the silent transformations that occur in nature and are often unnoticed amid the chaos of contemporary times.
