Artist Statement

In the quiet persistence of the natural world and the layered complexity of human emotion, I find two distinct yet equally compelling sources of inspiration. My sculptural practice follows both paths—each one offering a different way of understanding the world around me.

Through ceramics, I explore the lives of animals and the ecosystems they navigate—often shaped by the presence of humans. These works are rooted in observation and curiosity, reflecting my respect for nature and its quiet resilience. While much of my recent ceramic work centers on these themes, I remain open to expanding the ways I use clay to tell different kinds of stories.

Alongside this, I create sculptural pieces that focus on emotional experiences such as grief, comfort, and exhaustion. These works vary in material and form, shaped not by impulse but through a slower, more intentional process. I take my time with each piece, allowing the material and concept to develop together with care and attention.

Through both directions, I see sculpture as a quiet gesture—one that invites viewers to pause, feel, and reflect. Whether evoking the presence of a living being or the weight of an invisible feeling, my work seeks to hold space for connection, memory, and meaning.
