Every day during my two-month residency in Quebec, I collected and processed mud from the St. Lawrence River — manually filtering, drying, and wedging it until it became clay-like, suitable for throwing pots. This physically demanding yet soothing routine became my self-established daily practice. At the end of the residency, I returned all the unfired pieces to the river, and the tide took them back.

La vase (fr.) – vase, mud
