My art practice considers the complex intersections of personal identity, the human condition, and the environment through the lens of materiality and transformation. By juxtaposing disparate found objects, natural waste, and synthetic elements, I explore the tension between fragility and resilience, vulnerability and strength, presenting the mundane in unfamiliar contexts to challenge perceptions of value and permanence. This process not only examines the aesthetics of contrast but engages in a deeper inquiry into the existential and ecological implications of form.
Central to my work is the notion of personal and collective ritual whereby common materials are elevated to talismanic objects that reflect memory, history, and the marks of decay. The precariousness of my sculptural assemblages mirrors the instability of identity and the uncertainties inherent to the human condition, suggesting that both form and self are in constant flux, shaped by entropy and temporality. Through the act of binding, layering, and repurposing, I invite a reflection on the environmental and existential entanglements that define our relationships with one another and the natural world.
My work is a site for reconsidering the interconnectedness between human and ecological systems. The materials I employ stones, textiles, and bark are not merely objects but carriers of historical and environmental narratives. These elements are deliberately destabilized, their fragility underscoring the precarious balance between preservation and degradation, inviting the viewer to confront the impermanence and unpredictability of life and the environment alike.
In this ongoing negotiation between form, identity, and ecological consciousness, my work seeks to unravel and reconstitute the familiar, transforming it into a space of reflection on the intertwined fate of humanity and the world we inhabit.
