Ozawa's work is informed by a lifelong interest in natural phenomena - including seasonal transitions, fog, breeze, rain, light and shadow. Ozawa deeply realised and became influenced by the Japanese notion of Yohaku (blank space) and she has drawn upon this in her ceramic practice and developed her own style.
