At dawn

At Dawn is a ceramic sculpture made of terracotta and glazed porcelain. It features an unconventional form that departs from traditional Congolese ceramic styles, reflecting the artist’s desire to explore new visual expressions.

The composition brings together multiple head-like or shell-like forms emerging from a single structure, suggesting movement, transformation, and a collective awakening. The title evokes a moment of transition and renewal, symbolizing the emergence of a latent force—like a “giant awakening.”

The contrast between the raw texture of terracotta and the smooth, luminous surface of porcelain highlights the dialogue between tradition and innovation, emphasizing the evolving nature of contemporary ceramic art.
