ARTIST STATEMENT
My artwork explores the tension between fragility and resilience through the use of diverse materials such as resin, plaster, sand, stone, and metal. I delve into themes of grief, healing, and metamorphosis, creating a spiritual dialogue with the cycles of life and death. I see art as a transformative practice, deepening my connection to the Earth and the people around me. Through this exploration, I aim to understand the complexity of life and continue my journey of spiritual growth, all while pushing the boundaries of the materials I use to express these profound themes.
