My sculptures reveal the interplay of natural forces and the human condition. They speak on an intimate level of our inner journeys, and at the same time, they ask questions about the instability of what lies ahead in our lives, The boats are a metaphor of life being uncontrolled yet going somewhere; of being carried to the unknown with only a measure of safety and an ounce of faith. This archetype speaks across different cultures and times.

It is an old story; Noah’s Ark being rescued from the chaos and a sense of “lostness” – not with comfort, but with harsh realities that require perseverance.
Perseverence and endurance are qualities that I admire in the strong women who are my role models.
They show me that femininity can be expressed as palpable inner strength as well as subtle grace.
To them, I dedicate my ongoing search to capture the juxtaposition of tenderness and power and faith. |
