About Me

I FIND INSPIRATION IN THE FLUIDITY OF DYNAMIC AND UNCONVENTIONAL FORMS, USING MATERIALS LIKE METAL, LIQUID, AND PLASTICS TO EXPRESS THIS IN UNIQUE WAYS. MY ART COMBINES SIMPLICITY AND ELEGANCE WITH INTRICATE STRUCTURES, CREATING A BOLD YET SOFT OVERALL MOOD. THROUGH MOTIFS OF FLUIDITY AND CAGE-LIKE FORMS, I CONVEY A SENSE OF FREEDOM WITHIN RULES, REFLECTING MY JOURNEY OF BREAKING FREE FROM STRICT CONTROL.

THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN AND TRADITIONAL HAND FABRICATION IN JEWELRY ENHANCES THE DICHOTOMIES IN MY WORK. EACH PIECE EXPLORES LESSONS LEARNED AND EXPERIENCES, MOVING INTO THE UNKNOWN FUTURE.

I REJECT CONSTRAINTS ON MEDIUM, STYLE, OR CONCEPT, EMBRACE ORIGINALITY AND INTUITION IN EVERY IDEA, AND AIM TO SHOW GOOD RESULTS CAN EMERGE WITHOUT PLANNING OR EXPECTATIONS.
