2026 / 35 × 27 cm, 4 kg / chamotte, glaze

Exhibition history: solo exhibition Keep Your Balance, DzenDome Retreat Center (Moscow, 2026)

The work is based on a reinterpreted silhouette of a Cappadocian mountain with windows and a door — a reference to ancient rock shelters. The surface engages in a dialogue of textures: part of it imitates natural stone, while another part is covered with crimson and gathered glaze, creating the effect of cracked paint. The inner cavity allows the sculpture to be used as a candle holder: candlelight penetrates through the windows, creating the illusion of an inhabited space.
