Practice
My work begins with materials that already carry a history.
I work primarily with aged, found, and salvaged elements—old tools, metal fragments, wood, glass, and objects whose original function has changed over time.
Rather than reproducing existing forms, I transform these materials into new objects, lighting, and adornments through a process of hand-making and experimentation.
Traces of use, age, and imperfection are not concealed; they are an integral part of the material language of the work.
Across my lighting and adornment pieces, I explore the relationship between material, memory, the body, and space—and how an object can acquire a new presence without losing the history embedded within it.
Materials
Each piece starts from something that has already lived a life. Its origin is not erased; it becomes the starting point.
- Aged materials
- Found materials
- Salvaged materials
- Old tools
- Metal fragments
- Wood
- Glass
- Objects with previous functions
Process
Forms are not reproduced; they are found through making. Every object is shaped by hand, tested, and allowed to change along the way.
- Transformation
- Hand-making
- Experimentation
Traces
Wear, age, and imperfection are left visible. They are not flaws to be corrected but part of the material language of the work.
- Traces of time
- Traces of use
- Imperfection
Presence
Between lighting and adornment, the work asks how an object can take on a new presence while keeping the history embedded within it.
- Material
- Memory
- Body
- Space
A new presence, without losing the history embedded within it.
