My artistic practice stems from a deep need to express, navigate, and transform emotions and life experiences. For me, ceramics provide a space to materialize the intangible, where what dwells in the mind and body takes shape. Creating becomes an act of catharsis: a gesture that soothes, transforms, and makes the emotional experience tangible.
My approach is rooted in reflection and conceptualization. Each project is designed so that forms, objects, and poetic gestures embody sensitive states that establish a connection with the viewer. The relationship with the material plays a central role: shaping, observing, and allowing forms to emerge becomes a slow, almost meditative process that acts as a space for healing and transformation.
My work explores the tension between the intimate and the collective. Some works take the form of poetic or ritual gestures, while others unfold as objects or installations inviting viewers to feel, reflect, or participate. The notions of care, healing, and mourning—whether romantic, relational, or professional—run through my practice, giving the works universal significance.
Thus, beyond personal experience, my approach aims to create a shared sensory space where emotion flows freely and where the creative act becomes a bridge connecting the personal to the universal, while leaving room for individual interpretation.
