Very quickly, orders from friends, then friends of friends and finally from big brands such as Urban Outfitters poured in, and the 32-year-old man gained notoriety around the world, including in Japan. and in Australia. Her work, which may leave us perplexed at first, is in fact a real feminist position, which is in line with the #freethenipple movement.

Today, the practice seems to have seduced many potters and sculptors, since it is widely present on Instagram in all forms. From small jars with lids that lift by grabbing the nipple, to the vase version in contrasting colors to illustrate traces of tan, to more whimsical creations such as a container entirely covered with an army of breasts, there is no no doubt, it's the ultimate original decorative touch. Dared, but it has character!
