Kaneez Zehra Hassan is a Pakistani-American ceramic artist based in Utah, creating hand-built sculptural vessels that explore memory, identity, and repair. Working with coil, pinch, and slab techniques, Kaneez builds textured forms that evoke erosion and fragility. Many are bound with cotton thread, a gesture of quiet mending that honors both vulnerability and endurance. Inspired by archaeological fragments, devotional objects, and functional vessels, their work bridges past and present while reflecting on the diasporic experience. Guided by wabi-sabi philosophy, they embrace imperfection as integral to each piece, offering ceramics that are both contemplative and deeply personal.
