statement
I am a sculptor whose work focuses on humankind, and our intricate relationship to our environment, Utilizing elements of urban landscapes such as buildings, streets, signs, seats, sometimes memories, myths, stories.
My goal is to explore the universal human experience of never fully belonging to one place, encouraging viewers to embrace the world as their home and fostering a deeper connection to our global community and heritage.
I choose card-board as my primary mediums due to its symbolic representation of humanity's perpetual state of migration and transience. My sculptures are a reflection of our collective experience, a reminder that as a species, we remain in a constant state of movement, seeking a sense of home that extends beyond physical boundaries. Card-board boxes are symbols of mobility and transition. We compress our lives into portable containers as we prepare to move to a new life. These boxes are vessels of possibility, carrying the hopes, dreams, and memories of immigrants to their destination.
In recent works, I have begun to integrate words and rugs, extending the dialogue between material, meaning, and movement. Words serve as both visual and conceptual anchors—echoes of identity, language, and belonging—while rugs, with their woven histories and patterns of passage, embody the meeting point between the domestic and the nomadic. Together, they enrich my exploration of home and displacement, grounding the transient in the tactile and the spoken, and weaving stories that connect us across borders and generations.
