Description
“My deep connection to water, especially the ocean, is at the core of my creative process. The sea’s dynamic blend of power and peace gives me energy and inspiration, while also providing healing during life’s most challenging moments. It’s this pure, natural energy that brings a deep sense of joy, which I aim to capture in my work.
There is something transformative about immersing oneself in water—it makes you feel like a new person. As you sink from the earth’s surface into total submersion, it’s as if you’ve found a magical land where all of life’s noise disappears. The ocean, in particular, has a profound energy force. When diving into its powerful stretch, often through white foamy waves, you are enveloped by its strength and peace simultaneously.
This sculpture embodies that awe, joy, and relief we experience when surrounded by water. It’s a reflection of the feeling of being engulfed by nature’s embrace. The act of creating it moved me deeply, as I strive to exaggerate movement and bring each form to life. It’s like capturing the twinkle in someone’s eye—a symbol of resilience and vitality that persists, no matter what life brings.
Using the ancient lost wax method for this piece connects the timelessness of the past with the present. This technique, involving heat, water, and air, mirrors the elements that inspire me most. For me, art doesn’t just reflect reality—it challenges it. My sculpture invites viewers into a world that’s more vibrant, profound, and filled with endless possibilities, offering hope and renewal, much like the sea itself.”
