In my work, I have been exploring the coexistence between space and art, and the experience of this relationship as a whole. The element of open space has been integral to all the places where I have lived, worked, and studied, and has remained a continuous source of inspiration in my artistic practice across ceramics, glass, photography, and print.

My greatest inspiration comes from observing how we construct our individual and collective identity through our surroundings — through our sense of space, suspended between the present moment and memory — as well as from nature and its elemental purity. Through experimentation with space, layers of allegory, and composition, my work traces the line between time and space through narrative, form, and display.

I have been exploring new directions of expression and dialogue between the materials I work with and their surrounding environment, engaging with the many dimensions and emotions of the space in between — the physical and metaphorical gaps between forms, their layers, and their meanings. I am particularly interested in the tactile qualities that can be captured through the medium and revealed in relation to space.

The material itself serves as a catalyst in my search for expressions of the sublime within our surroundings and our lives — a substance through which layers of allegory and sensory experience can unfold in form.
