I have engaged deeply with the medium of clay, and through my explorations, I have found profound inspiration. The remarkable fluidity of clay allows it to effortlessly embody the essence of various materials, whether they be man-made, synthetic, or natural. In my creations, I endeavor to highlight this extraordinary versatility.
It is my hope that viewers will experience a sense of familiarity within the style of my work. My intention is to reimagine the traditional forms of functional ceramics, inviting a shift in the viewer's perception. Through my art, I aspire to reveal and celebrate a renewed understanding of this material, offering a fresh lens through which its possibilities can be appreciated.
