This Root Vase is a sculpture piece with carved grooves. Employing a bulbous form, this vase has an organic feel. The surface has been hand-grooved; thus, each area on the exterior is unique. For Marina, this vase represents that every root enters into an intensive and unique relationship with Mother Earth. The Root Vase Collection are symbolically the "water and energy" for the artist. This vase is made from painted stoneware on the exterior and glazed in the interior. This vessel is waterproof.

After graduating from high school, I first went on a trip around the world because I am very interested in different landscapes and cultures. I started my studies in art and German language and literature at the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich in 2005. After graduating, I started working as an art and German teacher and became the mother of two sons. After a few years, I realized that I really wanted to create something with my own hands again. Ceramics have been with me since I was a little girl, because my mother had converted our garage into a pottery studio and I was allowed to work with clay whenever I felt like it. I also loved the ceramics courses during my teacher training (art and German studies) and was then allowed to offer courses myself alongside my professor. I took over a studio in the creative quarter at Leonrodplatz in 2022. It is the place where I spend many free minutes and where my ceramic pieces are made and fired.
