Pottery art clay design by Polona Zajc

Pottery art clay design by Polona Zajc presents a series of products depicting various labyrinths. On the cup, their shape is sculpted into the soft clay, which is then painted with black clay when dry. Such a cup is suitable for food and drink, but also as a decorative object. This is especially so because it depicts a labyrinth of transformation, which represents a certain purpose and influence on the surroundings.

Labyrinth of transformation

The Labyrinth of Transformation has a special power that is felt when it is used, or is just present in the surroundings and is already acting on them. On the present cup, this is the symbol of the labyrinth engraved on it. It is one of two labyrinths without a centre, and can be moved in either a receptive or expressive direction. Of course, labyrinths are easiest to navigate when they are built on the ground and walk along their paths, but the effect of use can also be felt when using products that feature a labyrinth. One such product is the Rāhu's Labyrinth pottery art clay cup by Polona Zajc. The labyrinth's level of transformation indicates the absence of a goal. There is no purpose, no goal, just the fact that we are constantly changing. Here we come to the realisation that the only constant in this world is change. The best time to use it will be when life's difficult situations come knocking at the door. The best impact of Rahu's Labyrinth is to promote adaptability and the ability to accept new conditions.
