Statement
My practice operates between sculpture and functionality, exploring how objects can inhabit space in ways that feel both bodily and architectural. I am interested in the threshold between the internal and external body, translating emotions, sensory experiences, and states of tension or vulnerability into physical form.
Working primarily with materials such as bronze, glass, and metal, I approach sculpture through an intuitive and process-driven methodology. Texture, structure, and gesture become tools for examining how the body can be reimagined beyond fixed anatomical frameworks. Many of my works resemble unfamiliar blooms, fragments, or organisms, occupying a space between the human and the nonhuman.
Alongside sculptural works, I create functional objects that extend this investigation into lived environments. These pieces blur the distinction between sculpture and utility, existing somewhere between furniture, light, and bodily presence. Rather than separating art and design, I treat functionality as another sculptural language through which form can be experienced.
Across my practice, I aim to create works that feel simultaneously intimate and slightly estranged. By allowing material, form, and atmosphere to guide the process, the objects become sites where emotional and physical experiences are made tangible.
