Petite Pause – The Vessel Metaphor

The Vessel Metaphor

The vessel holds a place of honor while merging two distinct energies: the outside forces and the internal body of the centered object. Employing vessels as a metaphor, artist Zoë Pawlak communicates that our bodies are holding spaces for all that flows through us, from external pressures to embodied emotions. The work of being human is to navigate this duality, which Pawlak captures in her newest deeply felt collection.
