ARTISTIC STATEMENT

My latest work delves into the depths of our shared human struggle. Within the somber hues of blue, my sculptures stand as silent witnesses to our world's discord and destruction. Like guardians of a shattered realm, they remain standing among the wreckage, punctured with holes that speak of both vulnerability and resilience. Within their melancholy, there is a quiet whisper of hope - a call to embrace empathy, love, and light. These sculptures reflect our endurance in the face of adversity. They remind us that even in our darkest hours, there exists a path toward enlightenment. As we navigate through the wreckage of war and loss, we can seek to illuminate our world with compassion and understanding. For it is through the triumph of light that we shall conquer the shadows of evil.

My sculptures converge the elements of clouds, birds, tears, and rubble. Through the juxtaposition of clay and glass, this series evokes a sense of translucency and fragility, each material lending its own texture to the narrative. Smooth tears of sorrow shine while the clay churns with the chaos of our troubled world. Multiple eyes gaze outwards, bearing witness to the unfolding drama, while a healing hand extends from within, offering a glimmer of hope in the middle of the devastation. Drawing with negative space, I let light penetrate the cracks and ruptures. These sculptures are not just artifacts of war; they are beacons of transformation, inviting us to confront the darkness within and emerge into the light of healing and renewal.

We are in an unprecedented moment. It seems we still have more of these excruciating trials to go through before approaching the age of peace and creativity. As an eternal optimist I believe deeply in the inherent goodness of people everywhere. We are the Earth’s consciousness and it is up to us to choose light over darkness!
