My work transcends conventional storytelling. Instead of craing narratives, I create pieces that communicate through their physical presence and materiality. My artworks engage the viewer on a sensory level, inviting touch and evoking emional and intellectual responses that go beyond words.
In a world inundated with stories, my pieces stand as a reminder of the power of direct experience and the intrinsic value of materials. They emphasize the importance of what is felt and experienced immediately, without the need for explanation or narrative. By showcasing the inherent qualities of metal and the deep connection between my cultural heritage and the natural world, my work invites viewers to engage with what truly matters and to explore the profound relationships between materials, environment, and human experience.
