At first glance, Jacques Monneraud’s vessels look like folded cardboard held together with packing tape. Every crease and dent is convincing—until you realize they’re entirely made of fired clay. The illusion is meticulous, transforming packaging, the most temporary of materials, into something that can outlast civilizations.

Monneraud calls this a 'temporal short circuit,' collapsing the lifespan of disposable cardboard with the durability of ceramic. His work isn’t just a technical feat; it’s a meditation on time, craftsmanship, and the traces we leave behind. A quiet, compelling series that rewards close looking.
