If you are looking for a unique and captivating way to express your emotions through art, you might want to check out the ceramic sculptures by First of May Studio. These sculptures are made by Butaoxi Kao, a Taiwanese artist who uses strings of pearls to emulate tears and form connections between different figures. The pearls symbolize the beauty and wisdom that can be found in our feelings, whether they are joyous or sorrowful. The figures are often shaped into playful forms that resemble toys or games, such as jigsaw puzzles, swings, or slides.
These forms evoke a sense of nostalgia and innocence, as well as a desire to connect with others and ourselves. The sculptures are also adorned with various mixed media elements, such as flowers, shells, or coral, that add color and texture to the ceramic surface. The result is a stunning collection of artworks that explore the universality and complexity of human emotions in a creative and whimsical way.
