Artist Zemer Peled examines beauty and brutality in the natural world. Her works are formed of thousands of hand crafted ceramic shards constructed into sculptures and installations.

Using a slab roller, Peled makes sheets of clay which are fired, and then smashed into pieces with a hammer, creating a contrast between soft and solid material.
