In my work, I explore the fragile bonds that connect us as individuals and communities, often confronting the forces—whether social or technological—that threaten to pull us apart. Each piece delves into personal struggle, resilience, and hope, reflecting the universal tension between destruction and renewal. Textured surfaces and jagged edges speak to both injury and the possibility of repair, reminding us of the precarious yet vital nature of empathy and understanding.

I am acutely aware of how intolerance and conflict erode our shared humanity, and these realities shape my practice as much as the presence of machines in our world. By contrasting rough, organic textures with smooth, mechanical lines, I highlight the friction between human vulnerability and technological precision. This juxtaposition underscores what we risk losing in an automated age: the emotive, imperfect, and deeply human capacity to adapt, err, and persevere.

Japanese aesthetics—including Wabi-sabi, Shibui, and Geido—inform my approach to materials and form. I embrace cracks, uneven glazes, and layered washes, drawing attention to impermanence and the beauty within it. This philosophy is enriched by influences from Antoni Tàpies, Barnett Newman, Jean Fautrier, Paul Klee, and Mark Rothko, whose work underscores the power of abstract language to convey raw emotion.

Architecture also plays a key role, inspiring me to treat each creation as a constructed space. From Tadao Ando’s minimalist lines to the modernist sensibilities of Luis Barragán and Juan O’Gorman, I’ve learned to value both stillness and balance. Ultimately, my pieces strive to prompt dialogue about the fragility of our world—and to affirm that within uncertainty, there is always room for resilience, hope, and renewed connection.
