In the heart of China’s porcelain capital, Jingdezhen, Lebanese ceramicist Samar Mougharbel is crafting more than just pottery—she’s shaping eternity. A member of UNESCO’s International Academy of Ceramics, Mougharbel believes clay holds the power to transcend time and space, preserving human stories long after our senses fade. 🌏
When Art Meets Immortality
During her residency, Mougharbel fused Jingdezhen’s 1,700-year ceramic legacy with her own creative vision. "Ceramics are a way to keep human memory," she explains. "Once fired, clay becomes a vessel for our existence—something that outlives us all." Her works, textured and layered, echo themes of connection and impermanence.
From Beirut to Jiangxi
Jingdezhen, dubbed the "Porcelain Capital," has drawn global artists for centuries. For Mougharbel, collaborating with local artisans became a cultural bridge. "Clay speaks a universal language," she says, highlighting how shared creativity can unite distant communities. 🏮
Her project aligns with UNESCO’s mission to safeguard intangible cultural heritage, proving that even in our digital age, ancient crafts still hold revolutionary potential. 💡
