Despite their seeming infantilism, flowers can reflect the subtle facets of life: from tenderness and vulnerability to endurance and the cyclical nature of existence. Products pierced by a bullet have been a leitmotif of Oleksandra 's work since russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Her use of flowers combines a classical form with a philosophical context that emphasises the balance between beauty and fragility.

About ASSHA
Shipping information
ASSHA is the boundless creative realm of Oleksandra Plavinska, a Ukrainian ceramic artist from Odesa celebrated for her expressive, functional sculptures. Her ceramic napkin holders, matchboxes, vases, and flower holders—everyday objects—transform simple interactions into rich storytelling moments.
Originally trained as a theatre and film artist, Oleksandra began her journey with painting, launched her own upcycling brand, and ultimately found her true passion in ceramics. The ASSHA world is populated by haunting eyes and faces that invite viewers into their mysteries, alongside landscapes and florals that communicate through vibrant colors and evocative forms. Oleksandra’s work explores the interplay between the human spirit and the external world, infusing profound meaning into deceptively simple, utilitarian forms.
