In my artistic practice, I explore the sculptural realm.

The sculptures are imbued with repetitions and shifts in material and scale.

The capacity of sculpture to mimic an existing object and transmute it into something else is examined. This transformation yields entities reminiscent of the original object’s qualities, such as form, materiality, and intended use.

Materialities serve as evidence of something beyond their ostensible nature, functioning as descriptors for other materials. Frequently, the genesis of these objects is rooted in my relationship with them. Their original value and purpose are deconstructed to be reimagined anew.
