The sculpture was created using a self-developed technique, shaping a single block of clay by cutting and tearing off pieces with a knife. It was then hollowed out from the inside to prevent cracking during firing. The piece was fired in a wood-fired kiln using a reduction process, which gave the clay its characteristic black color. Finally, the surface was hot-treated with beeswax and a special oil to make it waterproof and to enhance the depth of its color. The flame marks visible on the surface of black pottery result from the firing process, during which the piece is exposed to direct flames. This creates unique patterns that enhance its visual appeal.
