Have you ever felt your stomach twist into knots because you were nervous?

It beckons viewers to confront their discomfort, immerse themselves in their emotions, and recognize the power of such gut feelings that guide us in times of uncertainty.

I began contemplating ideas greater than myself, reflecting on the nuances of humanity in my sculptures. To me, creativity is stimulating provocative experiences.
