ARTIST STATEMENT

Material transformation and scientific observation are at the core of my art practice. Through a disciplined, repetitive process, I apply fire to wood and discarded objects, allowing the dynamic interaction between heat and surface to dictate form. Charred black surfaces, delicate flaking textures, and caramel tones arise—echoing patterns and colors found in nature on both micro and macro scales. Rather than representation, my works serve as direct translations of transformation itself.
