Ceramic Hand sized bowls
Cuencos. que sostienen. que contienen. que se rebozan
Bowls. that hold. that contain. They overflow.
Each bowl is the size of my hands together. Each bowl holds what I can hold in my hands. There are bowls that overflow, others that drip, and others that contain. This work refers to the feeling of being overwhelmed when the body can't contain all that I was feeling. There are seven bowls in a row, each representing a day of the week, the top bowl feeding the bottom bowl with drops of water. Their holes, sometimes smaller and sometimes larger, cause the bottom bowl to bounce or contain the water.
