TIME

Time is a bronze sculpture cast from melted wax, shaped by the impression of a stone I found while mudlarking along the River Thames. The concept behind this work is to freeze a melting form—to preserve a moment of permanence within the constant flux of life. This process of transformation and becoming reflects the essence of existentialism, inspired by Martin Heidegger’s concept of Dasein in Being and Time. Through this sculpture, I seek to remind the audience of the fragility and significance of life, and to invite reflection on what it means to exist.

To create the work, I first made a silicone mold from the found stone, then cast it in wax and inserted a wick. As the wax melted through the wick, it transformed unpredictably, forming its own organic shape. I then created a mold from this melted form, used the ludo technique to divide it into three parts, and cast each piece in bronze. The final sculpture was assembled through welding, then finished with patina and polished to reveal its subtle textures.

EXCAVATION

Excavation is a series of prints inspired by the shapes and fragments from my Remains artwork. Using zinc pieces as a starting point, I explored a continuous process of transformation — how these forms shift, overlap, and cut through one another. Through this process, the paper becomes a site of discovery, where surfaces are not merely printed but unearthed, revealing a sense of depth and hidden layers within the material itself.

The marks and voids created by these fragments evoke the act of excavation — unearthing traces of life that once existed. Some imprints rest delicately on the surface, others are embossed into the paper, while some cut right through it. These gestures resemble archaeological findings, where each fragment becomes evidence of what once was, carrying memories and time within its broken form.

In this series, I reflect on how fragments allow us to reconstruct and reinterpret the past — how through collecting, analyzing, and connecting what remains, we begin to understand the world and our own existence. Using laser cutting, I translated the zinc shapes onto Japanese paper, combining chine-collé and embossing to create unexpected textures and voids that echo both the fragility and endurance of life’s traces.

REMAINS

Remains is the final stage of the Primo series, created from dissolved zinc plates. The fragments formed through organic processes, each taking on a unique shape. They remind me of archaeological remains—objects uncovered from the earth that allow us to trace history and recognize the evidence of life and existence. Through them, we come to understand the world and its continuous transformation.

I preserved these zinc fragments and used their shapes to create new works by laser-cutting them into paper. Some of these paper forms are supported by small legs, allowing them to stand upright—lifting them from the surface to make them more visible and significant. This gesture invites us to focus on what is often overlooked, reminding us of the quiet power of nature and the importance of what lies beneath our feet.

SPACE

Space is a film created using 3D scanning technology to capture part of my bronze sculpture Hagstone. By twisting and rotating the scanned image, I transform the object into a moving digital form. Through this process, I aim to explore the limitations of human knowledge and perception — how an object can possess its own power, movement, and energy that guide us into another dimension of seeing.

I chose to represent the image as a point cloud to highlight how technology continuously reshapes our understanding of the world. The fragmented, ethereal quality of the point cloud evokes both the expansion of human knowledge and the growing mystery of our technological future.

TRANSIENCE

Transience is a series of wax sculptures, each with a slightly different form, reflecting the fleeting moments of life and the continuous rhythm of change. The work captures the essence of existence — its unpredictability and transformation.

To create each piece, I poured melted wax into the same silicone mould used in my Hagstone series. Before the wax fully set, I opened the mould and immersed it in cold water to preserve its fluid, unfinished shape. Each sculpture emerges uniquely, shaped by the varying pressure and timing of the mould’s release — a process that remains spontaneous, organic, and guided by chance.
