This encaustic vessel bowl tells a story of nature’s quiet strength and beauty. With its textured, rustic finish, the bowl evokes a deep connection to the earth, while the earthy whites, deep blacks, and hints of gold create a striking contrast that balances harmony with boldness. Inside, the silhouette of a crow appears, symbolizing freedom, mystery, or the untamed spirit of nature—open to interpretation, yet always drawing the viewer’s eye.

The tactile quality of the rough surface invites engagement, making the piece feel as if it could come to life at any moment. The grapevine woven into and around the bowl enhances its organic, living feel, evoking a sense of movement and transformation. It’s as though this bowl exists within a larger, ever-evolving ecosystem—mirroring the fluid, interconnected nature of life itself.
