My work originally explored decay and destruction, focusing on the discomfort and complexity that these processes evoke in human experience. Over time, however, my perspective has evolved. I now embrace decay not as something to fear, but as a natural part of the human experience—one that holds the potential for energy, transformation, and renewal. This shift is reflected in the textures and forms I create, where rough, cracked surfaces and irregular shapes symbolize the layers and intricacies of life’s inevitable changes. The tactile nature of these materials invites the viewer to engage not just visually, but physically, with the process of decay. By creating texture, I seek to make decay something more tangible and approachable, allowing it to be experienced in a more intimate, thoughtful way. 
 

I focus on abstract representations of teeth, which serve as personal symbols of decay, loss, and transformation. These forms represent both destruction and growth, capturing the fluid and ever-changing nature of life. The pieces embody the coexistence of decay and regeneration, illustrating the cyclical process of life that includes both destruction and renewal. These forms are dynamic and ever-evolving, just as the natural world and human experiences are, shifting between states of disintegration and rebirth. 

While my initial inspiration was rooted in my own experience with the physical decay of my teeth, my work has expanded to encompass broader human themes—such as the loss of loved ones, personal growth, and the constant state of transformation that defines our lives. The focus has moved away from the idea of destruction and toward an acceptance of decay as a metaphor for life’s ongoing cycles. I see decay now as something that not only signals an end but also brings with it the possibility of new beginnings, energy, and beauty. Through this lens, I aim to show that even in the inevitable process of decay, there is room for joy, vitality, and a deeper understanding of the world around us.
