Excitement

In the vibrant land of Flutterwood lived a chubby girl named Pesky with shimmering wings. Pesky loved diving from tall places, reveling in the rush of wind and the thrill of the fall. One day, she noticed a group of children watching her and decided to share her joy.

"Why dive from such heights?" asked Timmy, a curious boy. "Aren't you scared?"

Pesky laughed, "I fall every time, but it's the excitement that makes me feel alive!"

Inspired, the children began trying new things, climbing trees, learning skills, and even crafting wings. Flutterwood buzzed with newfound enthusiasm.

One day, Pesky took them to Skyward Peak, the highest point in Flutterwood. Standing at the edge, she spread her wings. "Remember, the thrill of life is in the excitement we bring to it! Always stay excited!"

With that, she dove, her spirit of joy spreading throughout Flutterwood.

About the artist:

Hannah Bhatt is a mother of 2, a law graduate and a talented ceramic artist behind Uncanny Valley Studios. She built pieces, featuring faces, irregular shapes, and mythical chimaeras, to showcase her skill and creativity. The faces of chimaeras are mythical or fictional creatures with parts taken from various animals.

In Hannah's words: "I always kind of felt like a fish out of water. I used to illustrate fishes with legs and slowly expanded them into different creatures. If I had the ability to bring clay to life and breathe soul into my creations, they would embody a sense of longing and displacement.

It is a dance between realms and I hope it conveys a profound message of acceptance, self-discovery and the importance of embracing what makes us feel like a fish out of water.

The faces of the collection remain a symbol of the beauty that emerges when we dare to step beyond our comfort zones, going against conformity and embracing what makes us unique."
