Artist Statement
Sculpture is my way of exploring human experiences, emotions, and our relationship with the world around us. I primarily work with metal, bronze, and wax, materials that embody opposing qualities and reflect the tensions within human existence.
I am drawn to the resistance of metal, finding satisfaction in bending rigid forms and transforming hard surfaces into expressive human faces. In contrast, wax offers softness and immediacy; it responds intuitively to touch and preserves the traces of transformation. Through these materials, I explore the balance between strength and vulnerability, permanence and impermanence, presence and disappearance.
My practice examines processes of change, fragility, and resilience, using the transformation of materials as a reflection of the human condition.
