The article discusses the ceramics illusionism made by a ceramic sculptor, Emma Luna which artworks perceived to be without illusions. Her art objects include the imitation of a folded cloth which depicts fabric with series and uniform folds forming a tower-like stature and hand-held piece of cloth fabric which features forms of washcloth, cloth diaper, napkin or sock showing objects beneath masculinity. However, the precise production of surface textures and skillful use both colored and transparent glazes have showed the value of illusionism. Luna's artworks have reminded the people regarding the importance of textiles which symbolizes the material culture of humans and the folded towels which was dropped or thrown that symbolizes carelessness or irritation of comfort and pain.
