Thoughts is the longest sculpture in Adil Ghani's Life : Magnified collection, a series of raku-fired ceramic earthenware works capturing facets of humanity within shapes inspired by microlife. At over half a metre long, it is a statement piece for collectors and for corporate gifts and Malaysian gifts at the highest level.
About the collection
The series grew from Adil's fascination with what the naked eye misses: worlds within worlds, and movements we never notice. What if microscopic details were life-size, and how might those small elements mirror facets of our lives? Alien yet familiar, if we paused a moment to look, what might we see?
Fired in raku
The sculpture was removed red-hot from the kiln and sealed in a reduction chamber of sawdust or paper, giving it a surface that is entirely its own.
