My sculptures are manifestations of subconscious thoughts and feelings, connecting with viewers on a visceral level. This process-based approach continually evolves, pushing the boundaries of form and materiality. Honesty and truth in the material are revealed, reflecting my body and lived experience, giving an intimate and vulnerable glimpse into my psyche. These works are born from a studio practice that values experimentation and intuition, prioritizing the physical act of creation over preconceived ideas or technical skill. The materials themselves—often ordinary and overlooked—are integral to the process, blurring the lines between the organic and inorganic, and transforming discarded items into something new.

The resulting forms challenge conventional notions of beauty and comfort. They may appear clumsy, brutal, or fragile, yet they possess an inherent integrity. They are not intended to be aesthetically pleasing in a traditional sense, but rather to evoke a deeper, more complex emotional response. The sculptures explore paradoxes: the tension between strength and vulnerability, the interplay of attraction and repulsion. They are a record of a journey, an attempt to give shape to that which is often formless and ineffable. They are less about conveying a specific narrative and more about creating space for individual interpretation and connection.
