Urban Fragments captures the fragmented energy of urban life, assembling broken, textured pieces into mosaics that echo cityscapes, graffiti, and fleeting street moments. Each shard carries its own glaze, chip, and shadow, creating a tactile, layered composition where light and color shift with viewing angle—conveying motion, density, and the rhythm of sidewalks, alleys, and storefronts. The juxtaposition of raw ceramics against the smooth board emphasizes contrasts common to the city: decay and renewal, chaos and pattern, anonymity and detail.
