Artist Statement

My practice as a sculptor is rooted in the exploration of form, material, and emotion. I work across mediums such as bronze, metal, and chrome, creating sculptures that connect personal memory with collective experience. Childhood fantasies, everyday gestures, and human relationships—such as the bond between a mother and child—emerge as recurring themes in my work.

I believe sculpture has the power to transform spaces into sites of dialogue, where viewers find reflections of their own stories. Whether monumental public installations or intimate forms, my works aim to balance imagination with craftsmanship. Through a process of experimentation and persistence, I seek to create sculptures that are not only physical objects but also symbols of connection, memory, and identity.
