My work begins with a desire to hold onto something that is already disappearing.

I work with organic elements such as leaves and branches, materials that naturally decay, and place them through processes that attempt to preserve them. Drying, painting, and encasing become gestures of resistance against time, yet they never fully stop it. Instead, they transform it.

The resulting works exist in a suspended state, somewhere between life and fossil, natural and constructed. They reflect a quiet tension between what we try to keep and what inevitably fades.

Through this process, I create spaces for pause and contemplation. A way to sit with impermanence, rather than escape it.
