About the artist

Artist Statement

For over 30 years, I lived in towering cities, surrounded by concrete and far from nature. The less I encountered the natural world, the more I feared it. Then I moved to a village. At first, it felt unsettling, but curiosity took over. Watching birds nest outside my window, feeling the wind through wild grasses, and following the paths of ants, I stopped avoiding nature and started appreciating it. The fresh air, the open sky, the sense of connection—it changed me.

In a world where screens dominate our attention, we are becoming increasingly detached from nature. We live in concrete cities, spend hours in virtual spaces, and lose touch with the physical world that we exploit and deplete for our own gain. Surrounded by artificial environments, we forget the textures, rhythms, and quiet presence of nature. This growing disconnect is at the core of my work.

Through ceramics, I bring the tactile and tangible back into focus. Hand-shaped clay retains the imprint of touch—something real in an increasingly digital world. I want my pieces to remind people that they are not separate from nature but an integral part of it.
