ARTIST STATEMENT
As an artist, my work is a celebration of the intricate relationship between curiosity, experimentation, fused with the realms of nature, technology and our environment, natural and social. I primarily express myself through sculpture, and each artwork I create reflects my deep-seated desire to explore and unravel the complexities of gender, society and the interconnectedness of our past, present, and future.Coming from a background in science, I recognize strong parallels between the artistic and scientific processes—both are driven by curiosity . I try to approach my work with a spirit of exploration, incorporating a variety of materials and invite all to join me in this journey of discovery, where art becomes not just a form of expression, but a tool for inquiry, reflection, and connection.
