Rebirth

‘Rebirth’ is hand-sculpted clay.

The sculptor Deborah Gall creates the heart with her hands from stoneware clay. Once formed, she passes the wet clay to Jessica, whom she mentors. Jessica then intuitively carves the clay to bring out the specific energy surrounding this creation. During this process, an energetic’ name emerges.

We carry that name through the Raku ‘birthing through fire’ process in which the wall sculpture is taken out of a red hot 1800° kiln and placed in a can of combustibles. Immediately the heart ignites, and fire swirls around the form. Smoke leaves its mark in unique, interesting patterns as it calms and cools.

Rebirth feels like a grounded masculine heart — brown, richly textured, steady in its presence. A black rose blooms at his center, a symbol of resilience and beauty earned through hardship. Cords bind half of him, not as restraint but as reinforcement, holding together the places life has tested. He feels warrior‑like: warm, caring, protective. A heart that has fought battles and still stands tall, using his power not to dominate but to guard those he loves.
