This new body of work examines transformation through repetition, fragility, and accumulation. Using shell-like forms in metal and graphite, I an exploring identity as something continually shed, rebuilt, and carried forward. The shell becomes both protection and evidence, a structure that preserves traces of what once existed while making space for growth and change.
This emerged from an inquiry into becoming: of identity is shaped through cycles of rupture, adaptation, tenderness, and survival. I am interested in the tension between vulnerability and resilience, and in the quiet transformations that occur over time rather than through singular dramatic moments. Through repeated forms, I create surfaces and structures that feel simultaneously delicate and enduring, suggesting the way experiences accumulate within the body and psyche.
