My practice originates in fashion and textiles, disciplines through which I became attentive to the narrative and symbolic capacities of material. Garments function not only as coverings but as communicative structures which articulating identity, memory, ritual, and social codes. Early works centered on the metaphorical potential of cloth and process, positioning material as both subject and language. Through materials, I investigate how cultural meanings and memories are embedded in surface, texture, and adornment.

Over time, my material inquiry expanded beyond textiles to encompass glass, mirror, concrete, silver, painting, and drawing. This transition marked a shift from the pliability of fabric toward more architectural and enduring substances, allowing me to interrogate permanence, absence, and fragmentation. The process of casting and staining concrete has become central to my current methodology. I embed objects within the material and subsequently remove them, leaving voids that function as negative imprints, traces of what once occupied space. These absences operate as metaphors for loss, memory, and the residue of lived experience. The void becomes both wound and archive.

Gilding is employed within my work as a conceptual strategy as well as a formal device. Referencing the visual language of traditional iconography, gold surfaces evoke sanctification, reverence, and the elevation of the ordinary to the sacred. Similarly, the use of the colour lapis lazuli, historically associated with divine and female spiritual representation, situates the work within a lineage of symbolic colour and devotional materiality. Through these gestures, I consider how value is constructed materially and culturally.

Across media, my practice examines how materials carry embodied histories and collective rituals. By moving between softness and solidity, presence and absence, concealment and exposure, I seek to create works that function as sites of processing and repair, spaces where trauma is neither hidden nor sensationalised, but held, witnessed, and slowly transformed.
