Statement:
“My work is a conceptual exploration of the ‘inner power’ of matter. I treat gold not as a decorative element, but as a voluminous, conductive medium used to reveal the sacred energy latent within physical objects.
My process thrives on a technical tension: the raw, visceral impact of an axe on wood or industrial rollers contrasted with the meditative precision of gold leaf. This dialogue between destruction and illumination transforms organic materials—oak, olive wood, and textiles—into three-dimensional vessels for the metaphysical”.
