about this ceramic sculpture

Rooted in tradition and shaped by contemporary expression, this ceramic sculpture explores the relationship between language, nature, and form. A rounded, earth-toned base provides a grounded foundation, while flowing Arabic calligraphy rises organically from its surface. Finished with layered green glazes, the composition evokes growth, renewal, and the enduring connection between culture and the natural world.

Handcrafted by an Emirati artist, this ceramic sculpture combines sculptural elegance with meaningful symbolism. Its organic form and expressive details make it a striking statement piece for contemporary interiors, curated art collections, and luxury interior design projects. Celebrating the beauty of Emirati art, it brings craftsmanship, heritage, and modern artistry into any space.
