Artist Statement

Rooted in ecopsychology and embodied ecology, my work explores the ecological self, the understanding that the human body is not separate from nature, but continuous with the more-than-human world. Through sculpture, relief, and drawing, I investigate how bodies function as both medium and empath, shaped by and responsive to the systems they inhabit.

My practice integrates hand-sculpting with digital technologies such as 3D scanning and printing, allowing forms to move between physical and virtual processes while retaining the presence of the hand. I work with biodegradable materials, including PLA bio-filament and natural dyes, as part of an ongoing commitment to ecological material ethics. Surfaces are layered with patterns drawn from oceanic, atmospheric, and biological systems, suggesting a shared blueprint across species and landscapes.

Influenced by sacred architectural relief traditions, my work often unfolds spatially, inviting viewers to move through environments rather than encounter objects in isolation. Figures merge with waveforms, plant structures, and celestial motifs, creating a visual language of permeability, transformation, and entanglement.

Across projects such as Ocean Bodies, Rift, and Rosetta, I explore the body as a site where the ecological, psychological, and symbolic intersect. My work seeks to contribute to a broader cultural shift toward recognizing the body and psyche as part of the living systems of the earth, not separate from them.
