Artist Statement
The relationship between the being and the object is a complicated one. Through my work, I am unraveling the silent dialogue between individuals and the furniture they interact with daily – as a channel for human interaction. My fascination lies in the subtle nuances of body language as it intertwines with the utilitarian aspects of furniture. Ultimately my work serves as a reflection of the human experience –exploring connection, intimacy, and the intrinsic value of the objects that shape our lives.

There is a blindness that city folk carry. All that we have come to know is that our food comes from the grocery store. An “infinite” supply of anything we want with a single tap.
How did it get there?
We bathe (blindly) in mass consumption.
And the effects of it.
Give genuine gratitude to the land. And all the beauty and capacity it provides.
