I am drawn to the purity and adaptability of glass, a material that holds light, energy, and information in its very essence. Working with glass feels alive—it glows, breathes, and moves with a rhythm all its own. The process demands presence, a dialogue between control and surrender. There’s a moment when molten glass, fiery and unyielding, softens into form. The heat radiates against my skin, the glow pulses like a heartbeat, and in that fleeting second, chaos transforms into harmony.
This interplay of energy and stillness inspires every piece I create. My work explores the balance between positive and negative space, where the void is as essential as the form. Subdued hues blend into one another, whispering softness, while vibrant tones interject with quiet intensity. Each color, each transition, feels like a brushstroke, layered to evoke harmony and calm in a world that often overwhelms.
This philosophy extends into my print work, where I translate the language of glass into ink and paper. The process is tactile, deliberate—layers of color are pressed and blended, creating subtle rhythms that echo the movement of molten glass. Like light refracting through a form, these compositions invite stillness, a chance to pause and reflect on the spaces between.
What fascinates me is not just the result, but the journey—the collaboration between material, time, and the human hand. Glass and print are my mediums, but tradition is my foundation. In every piece, I honor the legacy of makers who came before me, rejecting mechanization in favor of precision, presence, and craft. My work asks: how can we find balance? How can we reclaim quiet in a world that moves so quickly?
