“Using birch wood panels, clay, and muted white acrylics, I create relief sculptures that echo the contours of boats, shorelines, and weather-worn harbors. This palette of natural textures allows me to strip away excess, highlighting form and memory over embellishment. I want each piece to be more than an object on a wall. My hope is that viewers feel a spark of recognition—whether it’s a childhood summer by the water, the scent of salt air, or the quiet calm of a harbor at dusk. In this way, my art becomes a vessel for shared experience, a space where personal memory meets collective story.
