Months of a War is a triptych of ceramic objects created by the talented artist Benzo, who is part of the duo Thermocouple. He masterfully creates art that speaks to our deepest selves and inspires us to reflect on our place in the world. The piece features a captivating composition of thin lines in black and glazed red, forming intricate patterns that resemble rivers winding through rugged terrain. The larger elements, rendered in rough textures, appear like mountain ranges or natural settings viewed from above. White spaces create contrast and direct the viewer’s gaze adding depth to the piece.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Months of a War conveys a profound message about the struggles we face within ourselves; the wars we roleplay in our heads, mindlessly chasing for meaning. That’s where the feeling of anxiety and self-doubt creeps in, and the ego prevails. Benzo’s art reflects on how these internal conflicts can impact our decisions, our ability to feel and show empathy, and how they are reflected in our deeds. Through this piece, the artist challenges us to contemplate the complex emotions and experiences that make us human and inspires us to confront our own inner battles.
