“My work explores emotion, desire, and small everyday gestures. I transform images and impressions collected from my surroundings into drawings and ceramics, where intimacy and vulnerability take form. I think deeply before creating and work intensely once I begin, following instinct before the emotion fades. Each piece becomes a quiet reflection on presence, touch, and the tension between fragility and permanence.”
