An aggregated form composed of multiple growth points bound into a single body. The clustered nodes suggest accumulation rather than efficiency — a system that expands through proximity, attachment, and overlap.
Non-ceramic elements operate as ligatures, holding disparate parts in tension while preventing full separation or collapse.
As an artifact, the vessel records a state of co-dependence. It remains unclear whether the cluster functions as protection, burden, or emergent life.

Unearthed Artifacts: Post-Cyberpunk Relics from a Forgotten Future presents a series of ceramic works that sit at the intersection of speculative archaeology and cyberpunk futurism. Vancouver-based artist Wilson Makgawinata forms these bulbous, pressure-like vessels through a hybrid process of wheel throwing and handbuilding, pushing clay beyond its familiar functions. Small modular components such as screws, plugs, and spherical nodes are slip-cast and integrated as functional-looking attachments, creating a visual language of connectors, ports, and interfaces.
