Ayaka Terajima Ceramic art

I was absorbed by classic ballet from childhood to adolescence. But as I grew up, the method of expression moved from my body to some other medium.

For the next ten years, I became interested in clay, this primitive material which follows gravity. I’m also interested in making objects relevant to and which have the ability to release one from everyday life.
