Mawu

Mawu is a hand-sculpted ceramic torso honoring the quiet strength and life-giving power of the feminine body. Shaped from black clay and rendered in a realistic style, this pregnant form captures the deep connection between body, earth, and creation.

Subtle touches of red glaze bring a hint of metallic sheen to the surface, adding dimension and light to the dark, matte clay. The contrast highlights the curves and presence of the form, evoking both groundedness and transformation.

Named after Mawu, the West African goddess of the moon and fertility, this sculpture pays tribute to the sacred cycles of life, the softness of creation, and the strength carried within.

A one-of-a-kind piece that invites reflection and brings a striking presence to any space — whether as fine art, meditative object, or meaningful gift.
