Artist Statement

These sculptural works examine the evolving identity of the human form in an era marked by consumption, technology, and cultural memory. Each figure is constructed from everyday objects—metal kitchen tools, mechanical components, and traditional porcelain—materials that carry both personal familiarity and collective history. By assembling these discarded elements into full-bodied human silhouettes, the sculptures transform waste into presence, absence into form, and the overlooked into the monumental.

The metallic figures evoke an industrial mythology, suggesting bodies shaped by labour, machinery, and the accelerating rhythm of modern life. Their armour-like surfaces hint at resilience but also vulnerability, revealing how humans merge with the tools and systems that define their existence.

In contrast, the porcelain figure reflects cultural heritage and fragility. Its surface, adorned with traditional blue-and-white vessels, becomes a vessel itself, carrying stories, rituals, and the delicate balance between beauty and breakage.

Together, these works question what humanity becomes when shaped by the objects it creates and consumes. They celebrate transformation, resilience, and the poetic potential of up-cycled materials, inviting viewers to reflect on identity, environment, and the futures we build from the remnants of our past.
