Anna Riess - 'fragile step', ceramic object, 2023

€660.00

This hand-sculpted piece, finished with a shiny metallic glaze and detailed with red-painted nails, takes the shape of a human foot - at once delicate and grounded. It can hold a candle in its arch, offering both function and quiet reflection. For Anna Riess, the foot becomes a symbol of vulnerability, movement, and the weight of every step we take - as individuals and as a society.

Through working directly with clay, Riess explores how the body records thought and intention. This sculptural foot reflects on the choices we make - small or significant - and how they echo across time, shaping paths not only for ourselves but for generations to come. Fragile yet enduring, it is a quiet call toward mindfulness, care, and long-term thinking in an increasingly fast-paced world.
