ZANA OHE

Zana Ohe is a ceramic artist whose work is rooted in love, ritual, and deep reflection. Combining the elemental forces of earth, air, water, and fire, Zana hand builds each piece with soulful intention. Every curve and surface a tactile expression of her inner world.

Zana finds clay to be the most intuitive medium for channeling thought and emotion. Her practice is both meditative and expressive, allowing her to explore complex feelings through a deeply personal and physical process. With an approach grounded in care and meticulous craftsmanship, Zana creates small-batch, functional wares designed for daily rituals, gatherings, and shared moments of connection. These pieces are meant to be lived with, held, cherished, and used in the making of memories.

In addition to her functional work, Zana creates Fragments of Thought, a series of ceramic wall hangings that serve as sculptural meditations on vulnerability and introspection. Inspired by personal journal entries and expressive writings, these pieces trace raw emotion through fluid gestures and rolling lines. Each one captures a sensation, a dream, or a feeling, made tangible in clay.

A signature aspect of Zana’s work is her intricate use of underglaze, which brings an array of colour, playful patterns, and soulful details to life.

Through these gestures in clay, Zana continues to explore what it means to connect with herself, with others, and with the world around her. She hopes her pieces can offer a small sense of presence, comfort, or curiosity to those who hold them.
