My ceramic sculptures explore belonging, memory, and transformation, shaped by experiences of migration and the redefinition of home. Inspired by natural formations such as stalagmites and stalactites, I use the language of caves as metaphors for emergence, reflection, and the search for home.

These organic forms mirror an identity in motion, evolving, layering, and adapting as it encounters new and familiar environments. Their vertical growth embodies the tension between grounding and drifting, belonging and becoming, past and future. Imprinted surfaces and collected textures mark the accumulation of memory, suggesting how places and experiences leave traces that shape who we are.

Fragments of the world; shapes, colours, impressions; are pressed into the clay, becoming part of the form’s history. I also collect and replicate seeds and seedpods along my path, translating them into ceramic form as records of place and passage. Vibrant glazes act as emotional markers, highlighting key encounters and inner shifts.

My work imagines identity as both fragile and resilient; like clay and the organic shapes it recalls, it evolves slowly through time, shaped by touch, memory, and experience. Each sculpture becomes a vessel of that process: rooted yet reaching, like a seed holding both origin and potential, shaped by movement, longing, and the quiet persistence of creating a new home.
