In her artistic practice, Helena Sekot (*1996, Weinheim, Germany) explores themes of permanence and transience through materials such as ceramics and glass. Her sculpture-based practice is often expanded through photography, sound, and video installations. Her interdisciplinary works have been presented in the solo exhibition Luminous Substance, awarded as part of the “Keramik im Pulverturm” prize in Oldenburg, as well as in numerous group exhibitions.

As part of her master’s thesis, I Live Until I Dry, she developed a series of works during the “Academy of Ceramics, Gmunden” residency, addressing the history of peatland drainage in Central Europe. Through a material-driven language, the ongoing research speaks to the loss and revaluation of these fragile ecosystems.
