Hommage to Helena Johnová
More than a hundred years ago, artist and professor Helena Johnová founded a ceramics and porcelain studio at today's Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague. Her public and pedagogical activities significantly reflect today's view of applied and fine art. The master thesis deals with the legacy that this artist left to all past and future students of art. The aim of the work is to create a monument dedicated to this important pottery and to place it in her hometown of Soběslav. Ceramic sculpture reflects a personal view of the topic of contemporary realization in public space.

New Hope
The project is focused on the history of my family. I am from family of Vietnamese immigrants and I mapped the story of my parents. They came to Czechoslovakia in the 80’s. My parents decided to chage their destiny and set out for new better life. My mother was only 19 years old and my father was 22 years old. They only met here. The project described the fate of my family, who are one of thousand of Vietnamese immigrants. My goal was to create an object that would remind of the difficult conditions that my parent had to overcome in order to get here. Ceramics clothing is a reminder of the only things my mother brought here from Vietnam.

Times are Changing. Fragile Beauty Remains.
The porcelain factory in HornĂ Slavkov was the first in our territory, unfortunately its story ended in 2011 with its definitive closure. The work reflects the effort to write the story of a famous company and preserve its history into the future. Porcelain dinner set composed of old recycled pieces refers to the magnificent production of the factory. The plates are indelibly signed by the last words of the owner, who caused the factory to close.
