I will not regret hope showcases an evolving body of figurative works exploring personal and collective emotion through ceramic sculpture. Central to the exhibition is a female bust,reproduced and reimagined at various scales using traditional and digital techniques. Smith's use of slip casting and handbuilding transforms this simple object into a symbol of resilience and hope.

Through repetition and playful reinterpretation, Smith’s work captures fleeting moments—joy, fear, and everything in between—expressed through intricate textures and forms. I will not regret hope is both a personal mantra and artistic meditation, offering viewers a poetic lens for navigating uncertainty and embracing beauty in the everyday.
