“It was a gift for a married friend that gave me the origin of my artist name, ``Sugar Poppo,'' and the reason why I decided to be ceramicist.
Sugar Poppo, who studied two-dimensional expression in the printmaking department at university, realized that he prefers to create three-dimensional objects with his own hands. Also, when I was thinking that making things that people can pick up and use, rather than creating works of art, I came across ceramics. I combine my favorite animal motifs with things that can be used as a part of life, not objects, to create my current production style. It all started when I made a sugar poppo for a friend's wedding present with my thoughts on the dove, which is a symbol of peace and fertility. He was also fascinated by the freedom of adding and subtracting to pottery, and the fact that you don't know how it will turn out until it's baked.
