Artist Statement

My practice explores the space between silence and release, where inner experiences gradually find their way into physical form. I am interested in what we carry within us: memories, emotions, vulnerability, resilience and the quiet desire for transformation.

​

My engagement with Rumi’s poetry has influenced my understanding of this inner space, particularly through his imagery of the fish and its relationship with the human inner life. From this connection, MAHI-e JAN has become a recurring presence within my practice, a poetic and visual thread through my exploration of inner life, movement and transformation.

​

Working across sculpture, ceramics and mixed media, I explore how material can give form to experiences that are difficult to articulate. I work intuitively, allowing the making process to shape the work as much as the initial idea. Form emerges through touch, repetition, layering, tension and transformation, allowing traces of the process to remain visible.

​

I am drawn to the relationship between fragility and strength, silence and expression, and the things that are held within and those that are gradually released. Rather than assigning fixed meanings to my forms, I allow them to remain open, creating space for viewers to encounter their own memories, emotions and associations.

​

As my practice continues to develop, I am increasingly drawn towards the possibilities of sculpture and ceramics, while maintaining a dialogue with mixed media. Across these forms, I seek to explore what exists beneath the surface and how something deeply felt can move from an internal, unspoken space into something tangible.
