My art is a response to the world I have lived in and the worlds I have carried within me.
I sculpt because there are experiences that refuse to stay silent, experiences shaped by repression, war, loss, immigration, survival, and the constant negotiation between fear and hope. Sculpture became the language I could trust, the only way to give form to the questions that have followed me throughout my life.

The Human Ordeal series reflects my lifelong confrontation with time. I live with the awareness that every day is a negotiation: Was it an accomplishment, or was it stolen from me by doubt, distraction, or the relentless pressure of aging? I grew up in a society that demanded silence, and came of age in a world where youth could vanish in an instant. These early encounters with mortality left an imprint that never faded. In my figures, strained faces, collapsing posture, bodies shaped by invisible forces. I am sculpting the inner battles we rarely admit to: anxiety, fragility, longing, and the fear of disappearing before we have truly lived.

My Social Commentary works turn outward, toward the public world that surrounds us. I have lived under regimes that controlled thought, and in democracies that fracture under their own noise. I see how power manipulates, how truth bends, how society divides itself into tribes, and how people become actors in dramas not of their own making. These sculptures are not political in the narrow sense, they are reflections of human behavior under stress, fear, ambition, and illusion. They critique the systems that shape us, but even more, they expose the vulnerabilities within us that allow those systems to thrive.

And yet, my art would be incomplete without romance, affection, tenderness, and humor. These works are not escapes from suffering, they are answers to it. They honor the people who gave my life stability, companionship, and joy. They express the belief that love is durable, that intimacy is a form of courage, and that humor is often the only tool powerful enough to cut through fear. The jesters, dancers, lovers, musicians, and intimate portraits in my work are reminders that the human spirit bends, but does not break.

Across every sculpture, whether born of grief, critique, or love,runs the same question:
What does it mean to be alive within the pressure of time?
