My artistic practice investigates the persistent imprint of unprocessed trauma on everyday life. Although sculpture is my primary medium, I often incorporate text and imagery to expand the narrative. Positioned between the organic and the abstract, my works are bodily, archaic, and multifaceted; marked by anatomical hints, cracks, cavities, and openings. These material-driven forms reflect inner agitation and a sense of void while remaining open to personal interpretation.

Currently, I am particularly drawn to behavioural patterns that emerge amid mental decline and the emotional threads that connect those who suffer. My sculptures seek to give form to these shared, often unspoken, experiences – offering a space where the psychological becomes tangible.
