The more I feel pressure to “tell my story,” the more I resist. We don’t always choose our experiences — they shape us without our consent — and creating a neat narrative out of them can feel speculative and reductive. My work is my story. Each piece is autobiographical in its own way, revealing fragments of the inner self as they surface through making.
What matters most to me is the here and now — the process of working with reclaimed materials and giving them new life. For more than twenty years, I have engaged with the overlooked and the discarded, finding potential where others might see waste. This practice extends beyond the studio: it is a way of living, noticing, and staying in dialogue with the world around me.
Rather than presenting a curated backstory, I invite viewers to meet the work directly — to slow down, look closely, and find their own connections.
