Through my work, I seek to express emotional and physical states grounded in embodied experience and moments of transformation. These forms resist categorization while maintaining a connection to the body. Hollow structures function as invitations to inhabit, project, or sense oneself in relation to the object.

Elongated, distorted, and exaggerated representations of familiar forms heighten aspects of physicality and sensory awareness. While creating, I often ask: At what point is an object truly suspended between abstraction and representation? What are the faintest qualities capable of establishing a perceived connection to the human body? I offer loose representations while allowing the action taking place or the presence of a body unresolved.

I strive for my work to exist in a space of aesthetic tension between beauty and the grotesque. Bodily references are paired with materials that are not bodily. Metal is hard and impermeable, unlike skin, yet I imbue it with sensitive features. Hammered surfaces mimic stretch marks, cracks, folds, and fissures. Many works suggest use—armor, tools, vessels—while refusing to fully become any of these things.

Through these objects, I aim to offer a space for recognition and feeling. These forms exist at a threshold between body and absence, protection and exposure. I hope to offer viewers a moment of resonance—a brief alignment between what is seen and what is felt, a sense that the work holds or reflects something of their inner experience.
