Every work begins with an idea, and every idea seeks the right material to take shape.

Over the years, my exploration has led me to experiment with various modes of expression, all while maintaining a consistent underlying thread: cutting, deconstructing, and reconstructing material to build images possessing volume and depth.
My creative process stems from the act of cutting—from the potential to give form to an idea through physical matter.
Over time, I have expanded my artistic vocabulary, moving from extruded polystyrene to wood, one-dollar bills, and eventually iron and jute.

Though the materials differ, they are united by a single purpose: to construct an image, to imbue marks with depth, and to transform raw material into a narrative.
