Alabaster Jar

Created using the only 5 items that broke over a two year period while the artists family moved from South Africa to Ireland, in 2022. Belongings which crossed the waters ahead of the family, whom travelled across 9 different countries (11,000km by road) and through 8 different homes, before together arriving at their final resting place.

Alabaster Jar was made in homage to obedience, in the journey of faith.
