DHANSHREE PATIL

MDes ’24

This exhibition features pieces born from the ashes of a kiln accident! Echoes of materiality, unpredictability, and the quiet ritual of creation. 

Mirage—an illusion by definition. Becomes, for me, a symbol of hope. 

It is the shimmer that urges one more step through difficulty, the light that guides toward unseen success. From a firing where every vessel melted away came new vision and resolve. Amid the noise of despair, I still find glimmers of positivity. My Mirage, a promise of what lies ahead.

 



Dhanshree is a multidisciplinary designer and ceramic artist who previously worked in industrial ceramics and now explores clay through sculpture and color. Her work blends form, function, and emotion, using clay and experimentative firings to express personal reflections.
