Art Jeweler, Metalsmith, Sculptor
My journey of making is rooted in my dual cultures of the East and the West. Inspired by both cultures, my work is an exploration to find a connection between these diametrically opposite influences. I view making as a personal alchemic journey in search for a harmonized perspective using cultural signifiers, materials and processes. I am attracted to natural organic qualities like weathering, erosion, burning and other environmental effects that tell a story about the passage of time and history of transition and rebirth. Inspired by Japanese philosophy and design, my art is focused on reducing elements to their core essence by eliminating the apparent to embody a sense of simplicity and organic structure.
