My practice sits at the intersection of art and design, where an ongoing dialogue unfolds between thought, image, and materiality.
Research-based, my work engages with the tension between critical theory and poetic sensibility through nature and the everyday, reclaiming the acts of pause and reflection.
I approach materials through their inherent qualities, preserving their material character while developing a refined formal language that gives rise to spaces of contemplation.
