ABOUT
In my artistic practice, I explore the potential of paper to generate form, combining my experience in print and fashion design with the contexts of contemporary sculpture.
My work is grounded in a dialogue with the material—paper—which reveals itself in sculptural objects and installations through form and interconnected particle systems.
I’m inspired by the playfulness of everyday life, domestic environments, and architectural spaces that shape creative decisions. I create intimate, minimalist installations that evoke (non)presence, desire, and a strange sensuality. Drawing from the principles of DIY culture, I reconstruct domestic materials to subvert social norms and examine the ephemeral nature of beauty.
