Sun and Moon

Wada Akira is admired for his elegant forms, done almost exclusively in pure white porcelain. He often leaves his works unglazed, and decorates the surface with meticulously carved designs.

The austere abstraction of Sun and Moon gives the two spheres a timeless character. The energetic Sun is covered with a rhythmic repetition of undulating squares, carefully carved into the surface with precise tools reminiscent of dental instruments. The cool serenity of Moon is created with a subtle, nearly invisible luminous glaze.
