Artist Statement:
My work explores the dynamic interplay between form, space and geometry, drawing inspiration from both the rich traditions of ceramic art and the contemporary art landscape of New York City. Through a meticulous process of hand-building and firing, I strive to create sculptural ceramic pieces that resonate with a sense of both fragility and strength. My practice is informed by a deep respect for the material itself, allowing the clay to guide the evolution of each piece. With a history of international exhibitions and awards, including recognition in the Tokyo-New York Friendship Ceramic Competition, my work seeks to bridge cultural dialogues and create visual experiences that are both timeless and relevant to our present moment. Rooted in a global artistic journey, my current work continues to find its voice within the vibrant artistic community of Long Island City, New York.
