Artist Statement
My work focuses on nostalgia and memory, particularly how we change and reshape our memories over time. I am fascinated by how memories evolve and transform as we revisit them. My practice examines the convergence of architectural structures and the human form, highlighting the coexistence and tension between organic and constructed elements. In my sculptures, I explore different materials to reflect these themes, examining how both physical spaces and memories can shift and transform. My art invites viewers to consider how our perceptions of space and self are continually reshaped and redefined.
