Selected earlier works

Selected Earlier Works brings together formative explorations of the body, childhood, memory, and transformation. From figurative bodies to emerging organic forms, these works reveal the foundations of the visual language that continues to shape my practice.

This series emerged when I resumed my artistic career through ceramic studies at Sheridan College, while searching for a new visual language. In a figurative sculpture class, I began creating childlike figures without eyes. While some viewers perceive them as soulless, I imagine their absent gaze opening toward an unseen spiritual world. Symbolizing innocence, affection, and new beginnings, these quiet figures exist between tenderness and unease, where mystery awakens both wonder and fear.
