Circle of Suspense

Circle of Suspense is a dramatic, hand-painted ceramic plate featuring four fish heads encircling a turbulent core of cellular patterns. Rendered in moody grayscale with piercing cobalt accents, the fish appear to be caught mid-motion—curious, startled, or circling an invisible force. The interplay of textured abstraction at the center with hyper-detailed marine forms creates an eerie and magnetic tension.

The circular form of the plate is used compositionally to its full effect, echoing themes of entrapment, natural rhythm, and silent observation. This piece blurs the line between functional object and fine art, standing equally as sculpture, canvas, and narrative.

An arresting piece for collectors of contemporary ceramic art, marine symbolism, or those drawn to dramatic visual storytelling.
