My work begins where language gives way—at the edges of intuition, spiritual searching, and the need for shelter in a world that often fails to offer it. I create large-scale sculptural and installation works that explore protection, memory, inheritance, and the ways we learn to survive. Using wood, glass, paint, and gathered fragments, I build forms that can feel like portals, barriers, shelters, or places of pause.
I am drawn to the point where protection and harm begin to overlap. Wood reflects building, repair, and the structures we create to protect ourselves. Glass carries memory, family patterns, and things we inherit without choosing. Its beauty and fragility allow it to hold both possibility and uncertainty.
My practice is increasingly focused on large-scale sculptural and architectural forms. I am interested in what happens when a sculpture becomes something people physically encounter rather than simply look at. Scale allows the work to enter shared space, creating opportunities for people to move around it, reflect, gather, and engage with one another.
Community building is central to my practice. I see my work as an invitation to conversation rather than a fixed statement. While my materials and forms emerge from personal and inherited experiences, the work transforms through each person’s encounter with it. I am interested in what viewers recognize, question, and bring into the space themselves.
My process is intuitive and slow, allowing materials, memories, and images to accumulate and guide the work. As I expand into larger-scale sculpture and installation, I aim to connect personal experience to shared space and create meaningful opportunities for people to come together. As an Emerging Artist, I am seeking to develop a more ambitious sculptural practice and deepen the relationship between material, community, and public space.
