Statement
My work draws inspiration from ancient inlay masters, forming the conceptual foundation of this collection. I explore the relationship between positive and negative spaces, examining how inlaid objects are immersed in their surroundings. This interaction allows me to investigate the essence of immersion—where elements coexist, encompass, and unite, reflecting life's complex, multilayered nature. For me, creativity lies in breaking established norms and reshaping them to generate authentic new ideas.
When I discover new ways to juxtapose elements that resonate with my sense of harmony and balance—ways that stimulate the creative process and reveal deeper connections—I achieve a more profound understanding of my relationship to the essence of the subject. In this way, the work transcends visual exploration, becoming an emotional and intellectual dialogue with the world.
