ARTIST STATEMENT

I produce site-specific large-scale installations that often engage the audience, with my primary themes revolving around language, perspective, and being present. I regard the production process as equally important as the final outcome, valuing the communication with all stakeholders throughout this progression.

This collaborative spirit enhances my creative vision, allowing me to explore the potential of various materials for artistic expression, and igniting my excitement as they transform into artwork. Additionally, I am deeply interested in the aging process over time and the effects of natural resources, which play a crucial role in shaping my work.

As a Buddhist, I often reflect on the notion of being and non-attachment, which prompts me to consider my flexibility in embracing the present moment. This thoughtful consideration influences my artistic approach and shapes the outcomes of the pieces I create, allowing them to resonate with the ephemeral nature of existence.
