Artist Statement

My work is driven by an effort to see beneath surfaces—to move past appearances and toward the underlying structures that shape form, movement, and experience. I am interested in what exists before we name it: the relationships, tensions, and fields that organize matter, space, and life itself.

Rather than merely depicting nature, I respond to its internal logic. I observe how elements gather, disperse, and re-form—how seemingly unrelated parts are held together by latent forces. These same organizing principles are visible in human behavior: the way people move through cities, cluster, separate, pause, and redirect. I think of this as human flow—patterns of movement shaped not by conscious design, but by invisible systems that guide bodies through shared space.

This way of seeing is shaped by sustained, close observation of natural systems, particularly the branching structures I study daily in the tree canopy outside my window. I analyze how forms divide, overlap, cluster, and create balance through uneven distribution—how spacing, density, and direction are resolved through quiet, precise relationships. Rather than imitating nature’s appearance, I translate these observations into abstract compositions that reflect how structures organize themselves within unseen fields.

These systems are not static; they are dynamic and emergent. What we experience as a fixed environment is, in reality, a field of constant activity—an arena where multiple systems operate simultaneously. In my work, what appears solid is always influenced by what remains unseen, just as human movement is shaped by forces we rarely acknowledge yet continuously respond to.

My practice is intuitive yet highly deliberate. I work through a process of looking, dismantling, and reconfiguring—searching for a point of balance between disruption and flow. I am less concerned with representation than with resonance; I want the work to be felt before it is understood, allowing viewers to sense structure and depth without needing a roadmap.

Across painting and glass, my work reflects a sustained inquiry into what lies beneath visual surfaces and assumed boundaries. This journey to the core is not about arriving at a final answer, but about sharpening perception: learning how to see more by removing the distraction of the obvious.

Ultimately, I invite viewers to pause and reconsider the spaces they inhabit—both internal and external—and to recognize that the forces shaping us most profoundly are often invisible, yet deeply present.
