STATEMENT
Working with clay has become a way of cultivating my relationship with the earth. Through that relationship, I explore my own transformation while honoring the earth’s presence.
The earth becomes a living territory that holds memory, time, and structure. Here, form is not imposed. It emerges. Letting go of control creates space for the unexpected to unfold.
For this body of work, I collect clay and soils from places that have profoundly shaped my life through experiences of love, loss, wonder, and transformation. By incorporating this earth into the sculptures, I bring those places into the work as material witnesses to lived experiences.
The traces left by my hands remain visible in each sculpture, preserving the encounter between body, memory, and material—an acknowledgment that making is an act of exchange.
My sculptures embody openness and continuous movement. Built through spiral structures, they create spaces that extend outward to give while remaining ready to receive. Some stand without a base; their internal organization allows stability to emerge through balance, reciprocity, and the capacity to support and be supported. Their forms suggest growth as an ongoing process rather than a fixed state.
The sculptures are experienced through movement. As viewers move around them, each perspective reveals a new relationship with the work—a shifting encounter that reflects the reciprocity at the core of their making.
