The Ganesha

The Elephant has a very powerful energy, I feel him as a Ganesha.

In Hinduism Ganesha is Lord of Beginnings and Remover of Obstacles, and that is exactly what this vase transmits through. Ganesha was famous for bright mind, to remove obstacles in life you need to have an exceptional, problem-solving thinking. 

His pattern reminds me of an armor, and Ganesha was the main companion of Shiva and the leader of Ganas, Shiva’s warriors.

Another interesting thing about this vase is his movements. As I built and dried him, I did my best to keep him flat. But he curved a little during firing, which made him a "dancer". I sand him multiple times in an attempt to flatten his base, but he just doesn’t want to be still. So out of curiosity, I googled if Ganesha liked to dance, and Google replied that one of Ganesha's roles was to entertain his parents, which he did by dancing. Shiva, Ganesha, and all the dwarfish ganas love to dance because the act of dancing is significant in spiritually of Hinduism. I realized that is how he is supposed to be. No need to change him or to control him. He wants to be a dancer, so be it. That is just another proof for me that accidents don’t exist.
