I make uncanny ceramic figures and soft sculptures that function as emotional avatars: humorous, awkward, and unsettling. They invite the viewer to connect to their own personal archive of nostalgia and memories. My work reflects a life shaped by media instead of folklore, by chosen culture instead of inherited tradition, and by a persistent effort to find softness and connection in a world that often demands assimilation. Ceramics allows me to negotiate contradictions between fragility and durability, cuteness and melancholy, nostalgia and unease. Clay holds the weight of craft history while remaining deeply physical and imperfect, mirroring the tension between childhood comfort and adult self-awareness. Fabric forms created from repurposed clothing provide commentary on fast-fashion, globalism, colonialism and consumer waste. By merging sculptural tradition, animation and toy aesthetics with queer embodiment; my work explores how identity is assembled through media, desire, loss, and longing.
