About

Dhalia_edited.jpg

My practice explores the body as a site of transformation, memory, and belonging. Working with porcelain and stoneware, I create hybrid forms in which bodily, botanical, and marine elements merge, reflecting experiences of migration, resilience, and adaptation.

Built by hand through slow, accumulative processes, the sculptures combine organic volumes, textured surfaces, and individually modelled flowers that evoke impermanence, regeneration, and renewal.

In my recent series, Nereids, the works resemble bodies, islands, or imagined ecosystems that resist fixed classification. Influenced by Brazilian Baroque, Japanese botanical imagery, and natural structures, I understand belonging not as a fixed place, but as a continuous process of becoming.
