Artist Statement

Textiles are my language, and my sculptures are their poetry, a tactile dialogue where nature and emotion intertwine. I draw deeply from the rhythms and patterns of the natural world, but my work is more than an exploration of form and material. It speaks to the intricacies of human emotion, creating connections that transcend the visual or tactile. My sculptures invite the viewer into a shared space, where memories surface, feelings resonate, and a quiet understanding emerges.

As I work with shantung silk, a fabric with a personality as lively as the stories I intend to tell, I have developed techniques that allow me to sculpt its delicate slubs into intricate, organic forms. These forms reflect the textures of nature: the layers of petals, the ripples of water, and the scales of a fish. Yet, as I shape the material, I find that it is not only nature’s rhythms I channel but also the currents of human experience. Each sculpture becomes a vessel, consciously crafted to evoke emotions and inspire reflection.

Art, for me, is a bridge, a way to connect us through shared struggles and joys. During my exhibitions, I’ve seen how my works generate conversations, sparking memories and emotions in others. As John Berger writes in Ways of Seeing, these moments of vulnerability remind us, “What we see is not what we are looking at, but the sum of our experience with the object.” My sculptures do not seek to impose meaning but to offer solace, to let viewers know they are not alone in their emotions.

In every piece I create, there is an invitation: to touch, to feel, to remember, and to connect. Through this sensory and emotional dialogue, my sculptures foster humanity and remind us of the shared threads that bind us all.
