About

My practice is fundamentally driven by unresolved relational friction and the quiet dissonance between what is spoken and what is felt when talking with others. Rather than seeking tidy resolutions, I am drawn to the states of suspension that resist fixed identities and rigid boundaries. The incomplete closures and subtle shifts in weight that occur in everyday interactions—between individuals, between the self and the other, or between human bodies and structural systems—always materialize as a physical tension in my work. Instead of offering definitive narratives, my work investigates the ruptures hidden beneath seemingly stable architectures and social orders. By colliding disparate materials, I materialize structural precarity and material tension. Through this ongoing process of dismantling and un-making, identity and space refuse to remain static, transforming the artwork itself into an open-ended question.

Inspiration

The friction born from incomplete closures, facts that keep us in endless question, unanswered questions, the quiet incongruities of human connection, the silent frictions that language fails to suture, the unresolved ambiguities, conversations etc.
