New Materialism, Existentialism, Taoism

The core of my practice is an exploration of human existence — the origins of life, the transformations of matter, and the traces left by time. I am fascinated by how life begins, evolves, and connects to the wider universe. My research focuses on the relationship between material and being, and how philosophical and scientific perspectives can help us understand our place within the world.

My work is deeply informed by philosophical ideas, particularly new materialism, existentialism, and Taoism. These frameworks allow me to explore vitality within inanimate matter, seeing objects not as static things but as active participants in the process of existence. This theoretical grounding helps me question traditional separations between human and non-human, life and object, presence and absence.

Contextually, my research also draws on archaeology and science as contemporary methods for investigating life. I am inspired by how archaeologists uncover traces of human and non-human histories, and how microscopic observation reveals unseen worlds of activity and transformation.

In my practice, I work across printmaking, sculpture, and film, often using found materials such as stones, fragments, or organic matter. Through processes of casting, layering, and reformation, I translate natural forms into new visual languages. By combining philosophical inquiry with scientific observation, I aim to create works that connect the ancient and the contemporary — reflecting on existence, transformation, and the living potential within all matter.
