Sculpture is my favorite art form! It constantly challenges me both creatively and technically. I grew up painting and drawing, but sculpture ignited a passion that expanded my perspective. Working in 3D feels deeply spiritual to me— I believe creation itself is rooted in artistry. I am blessed and free, blending emotion, symbolism, and imagination into physical forms in a powerful and poetic way. Each piece reflects my heart and mind speaking through its presence.

I find inspiration in nature, personal experiences, memories, and human emotion. My art often becomes an outlet for transforming thoughts and feelings into visual narratives that reflect how I see and experience the world. The art community, made up of people from different walks of life, have inspired and challenged me within other mediums, such as photography, video editing, and songwriting.

I would use the prize money for my master's tuition and future sculpture projects. I am a professional sculptor and intermediate painter. I want to give back to the communities because I believe more people should have the opportunity to create art and discover their voice through the medium that best helps them express themselves. I believe everyone, regardless of age, should have the same chances to develop creatively.
