Delphine's current artwork reflects an imaginary and mysterious world, filled with chaos and wonder. Inspired by the deep sea and its creatures, she found solace in ceramics as she struggled to translate her imagination digitally. Discovering the puzzling process of sculpting clay, she felt inspired to create her own mysterious creatures, fueled by her fascination with imagined beings on our planet.


"The unpredictability of clay sculptures fascinated me—the unknown end results, the departure from a world obsessed with perfection and predictability."

In a realm dominated by AI, where imagination is replaced by polished outputs, relinquishing control, and embracing imperfection became liberating. Clay sculptures were a gateway to uncertainty, where shapes transformed in the kiln and glazes held delightful surprises. This process became an exciting exploration, allowing the 'babies' she created to take on their own life, subtly mutating along the way.


Her artwork invites viewers to immerse themselves in a world that defies comprehension but brims with infinite possibilies. It is a tribute to the mysterious depths of the ocean and the captivating creatures that dwell within it.

In her recent installation Delphine's work evolved and centres around a ceramic sculpture representing her safe self, contrasted with a poem-video that depicts a situation where this sense of safety is disturbed by catcalling. This sculpture embodies the culmination of Delphine's experiences and growth as an artist. It is crafted with clay slabs, reinforcing the connection between the material and the safe feeling that also originates from the childhood drawings she made when she was 2 or 3 years old. Together, the large ceramic sculpture represents the safe and soft aspects of herself.


"For me, clay is more than a material. It is a means of expression, a way to connect with my inner self, and a method to rekindle the connection with my thoughts. Through clay, I gain a deeper understanding of who I am and why I am. When I struggle with communication or understanding, working with clay and ceramics makes me feel understood. This relationship is much more significant than viewing clay as just an ordinary material."
