Spreading intangible, embodied, and personal forms of knowledge is closely connected to my desire to preserve cherished memories and materials. At the heart of my artistic practice lies a commitment to sustainability —not only in the environmental sense, but in the emotional preservation of meaning through upcycling and material transformation. A central element in my work is the contrast between the rational functionality of materials and the emotional resonance of objects. I work with materials that often carry histories—discarded or overlooked objects, worn-out components, or belongings with sentimental value—and give them new life and function by transforming them into iconic sculptures or design pieces. By re-creating a client’s belongings and weaving their identity into the new form, I shift and expand the object’s original context. Through this process, the piece becomes more than a physical structure; it becomes a vessel of memory and meaning, a sustainable artifact that honors both the past and the potential of the future. Each artwork I create holds multiple layers of significance that go beyond its material or tactile qualities. These layers include an object’s personal history, the memories attached to it, and the symbolic value imbued by its owner. The true essence of an object is often hidden—its worth defined not by its surface but by the dialogue it inspires, the stories it carries, and the emotion it evokes in those who encounter it.
