Julia Kunin: Laughing Castles presents hand-built ceramic sculptures that merge sensuality with symbolic queer and feminist references. Metallic glazes highlight mirrored and repeated body parts, abstracted into playful double portraits, while architectural forms like keyholes and labryses carry coded, near-spiritual meanings. The titular towers with smiling lips emphasize joy, eroticism, and resilience, asserting a subversive presence within historical artistic lineages.
