THE PROCESS

My work begins with post-consumer materials. I’m interested in what has already passed through someone else’s hands —
in what was destined to disappear.
I mainly work with paper:
I reclaim wrappings, cardboard, and discarded waste from society.
I’m drawn to paper because it’s humble and democratized — accessible to everyone.
Paper is fragile, but also incredibly resilient.
It absorbs, folds, breaks down, and rebuilds. It holds memory. It retains ink, creases, and the marks of its previous use. Every piece tells a story that isn’t mine — and that’s precisely what interests me:
not starting from zero, but beginning with something that has already been something else. Sculpting forms is a way to show this tension between the ephemeral and the enduring.
What I do is, in part, a rebellion: against speed, waste and the erasure of craftsmanship. This work seeks to make visible what is often unseen.
And to invite a different gaze, slower, more respectful.
