Collection: Lada Donchenko

I don’t seek beauty in perfection — I’m drawn to beauty as trace. A mark of time,
emotion, or transformation. My works capture what might otherwise vanish: a crack on
a wall, mold blooming on fruit, a streak of rain, or a feeling left unspoken.
I don’t seek ideal forms — I seek emotional truth. Each vessel is shaped entirely by
hand, like an instinctive gesture, a private monologue. Clay resists, shifts, responds —
and I welcome this as part of the process. It’s how I enter into dialogue with nature, the
complexity of human experience, and the subconscious.
