Artist Statement

I work in the multidimensional realm of sculpture, installation and the poetic space, examining the interplay between materials, physicality and emotional resonance. I utilise a wide range of materials such as wood, stone, metal, ceramics, fabric, paper, plaster, wax, rubber and many others. I perceive the diversity of materials in my work as akin to a toolbox or even an alphabet, where I believe the variation in materials and techniques are crucial  for my ability to express and create my desired vision of a sensory, tactile, and poetic universe.  The abstract forms in my sculptures and the variation in their surfaces, as well as the way I place them in the space, have a parallel to a poem. In my sculptural and installation-based practice, the objects are my words. Just as written poetry can leap from a simple observation in everyday life to a metaphorical, broader philosophical meaning, so too can my works turn things on their head in an absurd and abstract manner.                                                                             

My work is characterized by an intuitive and experimental approach, and switching between materials sharpens my senses and enriches my creative process. I select materials with humility, sensitivity, and precision. There is a strong intention behind the selection and transformation of the materials, almost comparable to the intention behind the utterance of a prayer.
