In a world that moves faster than our thoughts can keep up, I wanted to explore a space where slowness becomes a teacher. Patience in the Making is a quiet journey inside a pottery studio — a place where every rotation of the wheel mirrors the rhythm of the mind, and every touch of clay reveals what we carry within.

Through this photo story, I followed a subject who begins her day restless and tangled in thought, but gradually softens into the process of creation. As the clay rises and collapses, so does she — learning to breathe, to listen, and to begin again.

This project isn’t just about pottery; it’s about becoming. It’s about the gentle truth that growth happens in the moments we choose to slow down, steady our hands, and shape something with intention.
In the end, the vessel she forms reflects more than craftsmanship — it reflects her own quiet transformation.
