"The style of my work reflects my love for the unexpected. It drives me to push the limits of what can be done with traditional materials and techniques and how they can be integrated in non-traditional ways. My goals is to bring an element of surprise to my work that in turn can facilitate curiosity and exploration of ideas in unconventional ways. In the end, it is about being open to possibilities and liberating the mind from the confinements of how things should be. ​
