Am know working as a full-time studio artist. Artist Statement: A contemporary sculptor exploring creative movement through the manipulation of naturalistic forms. Embracing flexibility and the twisting of shapes, my work defines a realm where my creative abilities thrive. By observing geometric principles and extracting creative shapes from natural forms, I have developed a self-study I call "Extracted Form." These extracted shapes serve as metaphors, highlighting inherent potentials. The core concept driving my creativity is the belief that art serves as a conversation of potentials within a creative realm, leading to the restoration of humanity's lost dignities in cultural, social, and other human contexts.
