The Radcliffe Line, reimagined in ceramic form.

Asme Sheikh, HE Ceramics student at Morley College, has built a collection that reframes how we think about line, form and division.

Invented Borders draws its visual language from the Radcliffe Line and the lives of women reshaped by borders they never chose. Each ceramic piece sits at a threshold, between safety and vulnerability, between ornament and testimony, between the map and the body it affects.
