SURRENDER

Surrender project - Conceptual ceramic sculpture

Surrender Project is conceived as an experimental inquiry into the resonances between the plastic expression of matter and the human experience of transformation. The work traces parallel trajectories in which material behavior and lived experience mirror and inform one another.

The artist’s intervention culminates at a decisive threshold: the moment the vessel is filled with liquid clay. From this point onward, agency is relinquished to the material itself. The forms open, shift, and release their prior structure, arriving at their final configuration autonomously—a process that evokes surrender, transition, and the emergence of new states of being.

"Ceramic processes intrinsically involve laborious and often delicate work resulting from manual work and care to achieve the desired form. Anastasia Egorova's work transcends delicacy and conveys the idea of that silence that catches the necessary time for the pieces to become. Halfway between the utilitarian piece and the impossible object, lacking of function because it has become a part of the process itself, it offers us the possibility of reflecting, of stopping to contemplate, think, meditate. The exhibition is presented as an experience in itself. The rooms become places that invite us to stop and contemplate. The details of each piece are tellers of stories and we have to be careful to listen to them from an interior space, there is no other way to understand the meaning." Dolors Ferrer, curator of the exhibition at s'Escorxador, Marratxí, Spain 2018.
