Artist Statement
I do not see wood merely as a material to be shaped; I see it as a living witness.
Every tree carries the traces of time: years of growth, storms endured, branches lost, wounds healed, and silences preserved beneath its surface. Before it becomes a sculpture, it has already lived a life of its own.
My work begins by listening.
Rather than imposing a form, I search for the one that already exists within the grain, the cracks, and the natural tensions of the wood. Each piece is a dialogue between the material’s memory and my own perception.
The themes that guide my practice—memory, silence, transformation, thresholds, loss, hope, and conscience—are not abstract concepts; they are lived experiences carried within every human life. Wood becomes the medium through which these invisible experiences take physical form.
I believe art should not provide answers; it should create a space where questions can exist—a place where viewers bring their own memories, confront their own silences, and discover meanings that belong solely to them.
My sculptures are not representations of nature.
They are conversations between nature and humanity, where time leaves its marks, memory becomes visible, and every surface tells a story that words alone cannot express.

The Studio
Every sculpture begins long before the first cut is made.
My studio is not simply a place of production. It is a space for observation, listening, and dialogue with the material.
Here, every piece of wood carries its own history. My role is not to erase that history, but to reveal it.
