work

My work explores the ever-changing nature of the self within the environments and relationships that shape our lives. Through ceramics, I examine the subtle tensions between our inner emotions and the external world.

In my vessel series, the jar represents both the space I inhabit and the environment surrounding me. Leaves symbolize the natural and social world, while small human figures reflect my presence within it, continuously shaped by shifting relationships and experiences.

My recent work focuses on the instinctive gesture of curling inward. This movement emerges from three distinct sources: external circumstances and relationships, emotions arising from within, and the tension between my aspirations and reality.

Although curling inward may suggest withdrawal or vulnerability, I see it as a moment of introspection and renewal—a quiet space where I reconnect with myself and rediscover the strength to move forward.

Through my work, I seek to give form to the invisible emotions and tensions that shape our evolving identities.

Like the numbers 6 and 9, which share a similar

form but face different directions, this work

explores beings that appear alike yet remain

distinct.

Through repeated forms, viewers naturally begin to

compare what is similar and what is different.

Ultimately, the work reflects the way we perceive

relationships between people — discovering

differences while simultaneously recognizing

similarities within one another.

In Between

“In Between” explores the delicate tension of human vulnerability through the metaphor of a tiny insect living within a leaf. This fragile presence becomes a reflection of the self—quietly navigating the space between concealment and revelation, certainty and uncertainty, strength and fragility.

Nestled within its protective shelter yet exposed to the vastness beyond, the insect embodies the human condition: existing between inner and outer worlds, between belonging and isolation. Through this metaphor, the work invites contemplation of the subtle beauty found in vulnerability and the quiet resilience required to inhabit an ever-changing world.

By transforming these small living forms into ceramic objects, I seek to reveal the profound connections between human experience and the rhythms of nature, encouraging viewers to pause and reflect on the spaces that exist between what is seen and what remains hidden.

In Between

My work explores the space between instinct and consciousness, where inner experiences take shape through clay.

The forms emerge through repetitive gestures, touch, and movement. As my hands respond intuitively to the material, traces of emotion, memory, and lived experience become embedded in the surface. The process itself becomes a record of moments that cannot be fully expressed through words.

I am interested in the subtle tension between sameness and difference, control and spontaneity, the inner self and the external world. Through texture, form, and layered surfaces, I seek to reveal the vitality and quiet energy that exist within all living things.

Each ceramic piece serves as both a physical object and a reflection of an ongoing journey of observation, transformation, and self-discovery.
