Cacao is a plant of the Amazon basin. This one comes from an agroforestry system in the Brazilian Atlantic forest, near Rio: born of living soil as a fruit, reborn from the earth as ceramic. One mould, cast again and again, and yet no two firings give the same piece. The white is withdrawn early from the fire, the black left longer, in raku and wax, two moments of a single transformation. Monoculture starts from identical seeds; here a singular fruit is copied identically, and each copy remains unique.
