Under Juli About 's hands, ceramics suddenly become fluid, changeable and flexible. It has texture, it has volume and we want to touch it to see if it is really soft or not. Juli uses ceramics with a small percentage of paper, which allows her to create solid sculptures.

"Working with porcelain means dealing with the inherent fragility of the material, but also with the fragility of our being in the world. It is a material that must be cared for, and that invites us to care for the world."
