Renowned British ceramicist Edmund de Waal arranged thirteen small porcelain vessels within two elegant wood and Plexiglas vitrines, creating a meditative dialogue between object, space, and silence. Created in 2014, *Velocity or Pause* reflects de Waal's signature exploration of stillness and movement, inviting viewers to contemplate the tension between action and rest through the subtle variations in each delicate vessel. The transparent enclosures frame the works like sentences on a page, echoing de Waal's deep connection to literature and the poetic weight of handmade objects.
