As a multidisciplinary artist working in sculpture and installation, I explore the visualization of subtle, momentary nature of the mundane, or in other words the daily instances that elude our habitual and linguistic perceptions. My work illuminates volatile ideas that hover at the edge of consciousness within the complexity of an ever-changing world, engaging in a contemplative examination of ungraspable senses we often overlook in daily experience.

By sustaining attention to the seemingly mundane things, each observation, however small they may be, becomes a catalyst for a deeper exploration. – An unexpected contrast, a trace of thoughts that reside in fleeting moments and how those nuances are transcribed through our mind. – Those inquiries are translated into a visual vocabulary through various techniques and modalities including molding, casting, crafting, integration of found objects, video, projection, and interactive coding. Through creating analogical relationships, I create intersections that initiate unfamiliar dialogue with the familiar, where fleeting moments find their visual voice in minimal, poetic forms that suggest rather than a declaration. Through this contemplative approach, I seek a pathway to revisit the fleeting nature of perception itself, reflecting on the significance of the profound impact of unnoticed facets of life, and guiding us toward an unexpected territory of insight, a renewed relationship with the ordinary.
