As the United Nations marks its 80th anniversary, Lebanese ceramicist Samar Mougharbel is turning clay into a bold statement for peace. 🕊️ Born amid conflict, Mougharbel’s art isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s a rebellion against the chaos of war. 💥
From War Zones to Wheel-Thrown Wisdom
Mougharbel’s journey began in a world where explosions drowned out childhood laughter. Now, her hands shape more than pottery—they mold hope. 'Clay taught me that peace starts within,' she says, likening her craft to a mindfulness app, but with dirt under your nails. 🧘♀️

Her message to Gen Z? 📱💔 'Put down your phone and pick up the earth.' She argues that true connection comes not from pixels, but from tactile experiences: 'When you shape clay, you’re literally holding possibility.'
