The work of the artist Eva Caraí illuminates the interpretation of a connection between the animated and the inanimate being. as if one is an extension of the other. what is given in the piece anthropomorphfa or zoomorphic are literally and metaphorically the integration of two beings. It is noticed by the symbolology of ceramic pieces that try to stay connected to nature, perhaps unconsciously. The process of creation begins with the grinding of the clay blocks into powder with a mill, after modelling with the string technique (overlapping spiral clay strings carefully united by hand and smoothed with a corncob. In the painting phase, the pieces are colored with the different natural colors of clay. finally, after drying, the parts are fired in the wood furnace for 8 or 12 hours.
