Sculpture creation has been a significant aspect of my personal life since my education in Australia. I perceive art-making as encompassing more than mere technical and conceptual proficiency. At a deeper level, it serves as a means through which I express my emotions, observations, and discoveries, utilizing sculpture as a vehicle for conveying statements. Throughout the process of sculpting, I am able to explore and contemplate everyday encounters and emotions, posing inquiries and challenging conventional notions of normalcy and human interactions. To emphasize these distinctive perspectives and modes of thinking, I employ three distinct techniques: geometric forms, contrasting colors, and visual lightness.
In my current body of work, I am particularly interested in investigating the ideas surrounding human interaction and relationships, with a specific focus on the contrasting concepts of distance and intimacy, emotions and connections, and complexity and delicacy.
