What would it feel like to wear the essence of wildflowers growing on the graves of distant ancestors?

This thought began in Portugal when I visited the old cemetery on the hill. It was overgrown with wildflowers, and surrounded by a wall of lichen and rock.

I created two vessels using the imprint of the old cemetery wall in São Luis.

I created these vessels to be used in a ritual that would contain a hydrosol from the wildflowers that were growing on the ancient graves. The glaze on the vessels is created from bones, dead insects, burned ashes of plants and salt. The resulting work is a vessel that lives and breaths through the pores created by the glaze from decayed materials.
