I have always wanted to create. Since my childhood, the process of creation, whether through dance, painting, home-movies, photography, textiles, or clay, have made me happy, energized me, and helped me to express myself. I have long believed art is my calling in life.

I love working with clay: I love its history (both mythical and real) and its amazing versatility. Clay, being so malleable and supple in one's hands, can absorb any information given to it and, by its very nature, preserve itself for millennia.

I create my figures with an idea in mind, but I am ultimately led by the nature of the clay and my subconscious. My work reveals the clay body's characteristics; showing gestural imprints left by my tools and own hand, building tactile and visual qualities. In the end, a figure may be dramatically different from my original conception.

Art reflects the society. As a ceramic sculptor, I want to be an instrument that echoes my surroundings and contributes to and challenges the ideas held by others.
