An Exploration in Abstract Form

My work explores the human figure as a site of tension between presence and fragmentation. Working in bronze and aluminum, I abstract the body to investigate how form carries memory, weight, and emotional residue beyond literal representation. The figure is not depicted as a portrait, but as an evolving structure—compressed, elongated, or fractured to reflect the instability of lived experience.

Bronze, with its historical association to permanence and monument, allows me to anchor these figures in a sense of gravity and endurance. Aluminum, lighter and more responsive, introduces contrast—suggesting vulnerability, movement, and impermanence. The dialogue between these materials mirrors the dualities I am drawn to: strength and fragility, solidity and flux, containment and release.

Through abstraction, I invite viewers to project their own narratives onto the work. Gestures, voids, and surfaces become emotional cues rather than descriptive details. The sculptures exist in an in-between state—recognizably human yet unresolved—reflecting the way identity is continually shaped by internal and external forces.

Ultimately, my practice is an attempt to give form to what is felt but not easily named, allowing the figure to remain open, ambiguous, and alive.
