I am driven by the power of emotive art. Whether I am shaping a physical sculpture or developing a digital piece, my goal is to evoke a visceral response that resonates deep within the viewer. I gravitate toward "Visual Deceit" and surrealism because they allow me to challenge perceptions while tapping into raw human feeling. To me, the most successful art isn't just seen—it is felt. I strive to create works that capture a mood, provoke a memory, and form an authentic emotional connection.

"My inspiration stems from the dialogue between fleeting human emotion and the enduring strength of steel, copper, and silver phosphorus. I am particularly drawn to anthropomorphic figures, such as my series of ants, which I use to mirror complex human physical emotions. By capturing these raw feelings in materials built for permanence, I create 'Visual Deceit' that challenges the viewer to find themselves within the world I’ve forged."

​"This prize will fuel the growth of my practice, blending hand-hammered textures with expert welding and brazing. I will invest in advanced fabrication tools and digital hardware to create large-scale, hybrid sculptures that bridge traditional craftsmanship and modern art. By expanding my studio and refining these manual techniques, I aim to elevate my professional portfolio and bring my vision of intricate, hand-wrought metalwork to a global audience."
