About me

My work with clay is driven by a desire to explore, uncover, and express. I am drawn to the medium for its versatility and endless possibilities, allowing me to investigate form, texture, and emotion without limitation. In the process of shaping and refining, I engage in a dialogue with the material — forms evolve, surfaces shift, and unexpected qualities emerge. This journey of discovery is as important as the finished piece itself.

Emotion is central to my practice. I strive to create work that resonates, both for myself and for those who encounter it. I hope viewers feel something — excitement, intrigue, awe, or mystery — while also sensing subtle reflections of my own experiences and inner world. My work often embodies contrasting energies: softness and elegance coexist with tension, frustration, or rawness. These dualities mirror aspects of my identity and inner life, including struggles with self-understanding and personal history.

While my work may not fully represent these ideas yet, it is a space for exploration and self-discovery, a place where I attempt to give form to the complexity and depth I feel. The studio, often a solitary space, allows me to engage with these layers without self-consciousness, letting each piece emerge as part of an ongoing journey.

Ultimately, my ceramics are a means to explore who I am, what I feel, and how these inner landscapes can be expressed. Each piece is a step toward balancing contradiction and harmony, evoking response while reflecting an evolving sense of self.
