I CONJURE A WORLD WHERE HARMFUL WORDS TAKE SHAPE. TWO TEAPOTS, ADORNED IN COMPLEMENTARY HUES, ECHO THE TENSION AND POLARITY OF OUR TIME. TEA HANGS SUSPENDED IN FLIGHT, MOMENTS FROM COLLISION—A METAPHOR FOR THE QUIET RUIN THAT UNFOLDS WHEN EVEN GENTLE CONVERSATIONS BEGIN WITH WOUNDS.

IN THE TELLING

This body of work explores the emotional core of communication in an age of rapid exchange. As language becomes more instantaneous and borderless, its emotional nuance often slips through. Through form, texture, and tension, these pieces aim to give shape to the feelings that live between words—their weight, their ambiguity, and their potential for both connection and harm.

ABBA AND ME 

“Abba and Me” is a reflection on communication as it unfolds within the intimacy and complexity of family. The walls and floor ground the piece in the physical language of home—a space both familiar and fraught. Phones display video fragments of conversations with my father, revealing not only words exchanged but emotions in motion: pauses, misfires, hesitations, warmth. Through the sculptural installation and the rhythm of the video, the piece holds space for the tensions, misunderstandings, and quiet reconciliations that shape my experience of home. It is an attempt to capture the layered, often nonlinear process of connection between parent and child.
