Artist Statement
My work explores the quiet tension between fragility and resilience through sculptural ceramic forms that exist somewhere between vessel and body. Rather than pursuing symmetry or permanence, I build each piece through a slow process of accumulation, allowing delicate layers to grow outward until they become an integral part of the form itself.
Every curve, fold, and edge is shaped by hand, preserving the subtle traces of making and the dialogue between intention and spontaneity.
Rooted in the emotional complexity of human experience and inspired by the quiet strength found in imperfection, my sculptures embrace imbalance as a source of beauty rather than something to be corrected.
Working with clay allows me to transform a simple material into forms that feel alive, where structure appears almost impossible yet remains quietly grounded. Through this process, I seek to create objects that evoke presence, curiosity, and an emotional connection beyond function.
