About this piece


In What We Bring With Us, the artist explores memory, family, and ritual through functional ceramic pieces impressed with meaningful lace patterns. The lace carries deep personal significance, including fragments from dresses worn at her children’s weddings and treasured pieces preserved by her mother, creating tangible connections across generations. Designed to be used rather than simply displayed, the ceramics celebrate the role of shared meals—particularly Shabbos and Yom Tov gatherings—as moments where stories, traditions, and relationships are nurtured. Through everyday use, these pieces celebrate togetherness, heritage, and the beauty of shared moments.
