Japanese-born, Brooklyn-based artist Yuri Fukuda – working under the moniker Emogayu – creates stunning, limited-edition ceramic pieces, each inspired by nature and space. Her latest pieces include additions to the ongoing “Volcanoes” series.

Perfect for displaying flowers, climbing plants or candles, the hand-crafted vases and bowls in the Volcanoes series were inspired by “the natural energy of flowing lava and the way it captures a moment in time forever.” Emogayu hopes that whoever owns her work will not treat them as ‘objects,’ but will allow the energy of their space to flow freely through them.

Pieces in Emogayu’s Volcano series start at around $150, and are available from the ever-cool, online retailer, Merchant_4.
