Belly by Mojsi Harka 

This ceramic sculpture focuses on the human belly as a symbol of life, strength, and vulnerability. Its smooth surface is punctuated by soft curves and a central navel, turning a familiar part of the body into an abstract, monumental form.

The pale blue finish adds a serene, almost meditative quality, transforming the belly into something both intimate and universal. It’s a piece that invites reflection on origins, the body, and the quiet power of simplicity.

About the Author:

Born in Albania in 1968, and a graduate of the University of Fine Arts in Tirana, this remarkable sculptor carries within his work the echoes of resilience and reinvention. After leaving his homeland during a time of profound change, he moved to Italy, where he was faced with the challenge of starting anew. From those struggles emerged a deeper artistic voice—one shaped by displacement, perseverance, and the search for beauty amidst uncertainty.

His inspiration flows from the raw poetry of nature: the elegance of felines, the flight of birds, the grace of the feminine form, and the abstraction of human experience. Through these themes, his sculptures embody both strength and fragility, capturing not only the essence of the natural world but also the story of an artist who transformed hardship into timeless creation.
