The studio, a haven for artistic pursuits, is bathed in gentle sunlight filtering through broad windows, casting delicate lattice shadows on the walls. Seasoned artists and novices alike share an unspoken camaraderie, united under the spell of creation. Ravi appreciates the relative silence broken only by the occasional clatter of tools or a teacher’s calming guidance.

Alone at his station, Ravi finds a sense of catharsis in this hands-on escape from the hospital ward’s mechanical beeps and bustling chaos. His fingers dig into the pliable mixture, the clay’s texture resisting and yielding, forming a dialogue of touch between hand and medium. As he rotates the wheel, gradually and uncertainly shaping a simple bowl, Ravi’s mind detaches from pressures long held within, focusing solely on the movement and rhythm of the pottery wheel.

The hour slips effortlessly through his fingers as he becomes entranced with the process, feeling the satisfaction of molding and remolding, challenged by both thwarted attempts and unintended creations. Ravi’s thoughts drift towards ideal balance - between control and creativity, past resolve, present focus, and future examination. By the session’s end, his simple bowl, bearing the imperfections of a beginner, radiates sheer joy—a silent testimony to the serene journey sculpted that day. 2024-10-04-14-00 Ravi and Naomi attend a MoMA exhibit exploring art and medicine intersections, fueling creativity through insightful exchanges and prospective collaborations.
