About
I approach ceramics as a symbolic territory where memory, identity, and matter converge. My practice is guided by listening, observation, and a way of thinking through the hands-an intimate space of resonance where form emerges slowly and intuitively.
My path into ceramics is shaped by previous work in painting and interior design.
These disciplines trained my sensitivity to color, composition, and space, grounding my current practice in a refined, essential language. I seek to strip away excess in order to reach what feels truly enduring: a contained gesture, a sober palette, and the quiet strength of simplicity.
Each piece begins without a prior sketch. Instead, I let intuition lead a slow, physical, attentive process.
The clay retains traces of touch and movement, acting as a record of the dialogue between body and material. The resulting forms move between the sculptural and the domestic-objects meant to accompany, anchor, and sustain.
For me, ceramics is a tactile language that thinks and narrates. It is a place where what we bring, what we let go, and what transforms can take shape
I believe in a ceramics that thinks, listens, and remains
