For this new compilation, Devriendt used the complicated raku technique — an ancient Japanese method, known for its delicate features and crackled glazes. For Devriendt, the title of the new show therefore serves as a metaphor: each work has ‘scars’, just like life itself — as a journey and a learning process — leaves scars and marks on everyone.

Life also constantly repeats itself in a new form, the same which goes for ceramics. Each ceramic object tells a similar story in a different way. Devriendt, however, has successfully written a new one: by merging ancient techniques and bold colors, in a way that looks effortless and obvious, his new works all offer a refreshing and new approach to ceramics and design.
