My work explores transformation, freedom, and the beauty of change. Through the combination of organic forms and industrial materials, I create sculptural pieces that bring together nature and artifice. Butterflies are a recurring symbol in my work, representing the power of reinvention and the freedom to evolve.

I am drawn to the balance of opposing forces: fragility and strength, freedom and protection, softness and resilience. Through repetition, movement, and contrasting materials, I explore how these qualities can coexist and give one another meaning.

The butterfly embodies this philosophy. Its transformation requires letting go of one form to become something entirely new. I see this as a reflection of the human experience, particularly the feminine journey of growth, independence, and self-discovery.

By transforming something delicate and fleeting into something lasting, my work celebrates the strength found in change and the endless possibility of becoming.
