Kantik Vase

Kantik ; a Haitian word for hymn, meaning to praise or to celebrate something. The flower embellishment is an ode to the Taino’s harmony with nature often found in sculpture, ceramics, music, and poetry from the island.

As part of TE’s 5th Era, Pastiche. An artistic twist inspired from French and Haitian. Where the past and present merge in symphony of colours, textures, and shapes. Characterised by flower laces, white monochrome, and outstanding carves.

ABOUT TÈ

Tè is taken from Haitian-Creole origins meaning ‘soil’. An alter ego to Margaret Yap’s chaotic and fluorescent prism, it is filled with ruminations of ancient ruins and hazy remnants of a colonial reign, as she uncovers a hidden sanctuary underneath it all. Exploring stoneware in a raw and rustic manner coupled with fleeting romantic ideologies, Tè evokes feelings of periodic nostalgia.
