Piggy Bank

Ceramic, 7 x 6 ½ x 5", 2025

Piggy Bank is a broken ceramic sculpture, cracked open to reveal just a few remaining coins inside. At its surface, it reflects a state of financial need, a quiet vulnerable image of pennilessness. But beneath that, it speaks to something deeper. The weight of limitation, how a lack of wealth can quietly close doors before they even open. The piece becomes a physical manifestation of brokenness, not just in a monetary sense, but in the way scarcity shapes opportunity, self-worth, and stability. It invites viewers to consider what is lost when resources run dry.
