"I work slowly. In the studio, time stretches and can be measured across surfaces, forms, and ideas. I often choose traditional materials and everyday objects not for their familiarity, but for their resonance. They carry cultural memory. Through small shifts and deliberate labor, tension builds between what feels known and what quietly rests beneath it.

In a world built on speed and efficiency, working by hand feels like a kind of protest. To spend time with thoughts and shape them with care, is to push back against forgetting. The process is personal and about staying present. I want the work to offer others that same pause: a space to slow down, to notice, to reflect.

I reference pop, kitsch, and the readymade - not to celebrate, but to question. I’m interested in how cultural values are made, and who gets to decide what’s worth keeping. Accessibility, to me, is a kind of generosity and a way of saying: this is for you, too."
