Mutant Shards Series

Ceramic shards, pebbles, sand, shells, dune plants and plastic desbris found on the beach.

“By juxtaposing synthetic and organic elements, I explore how chaos arises through human intervention in natural cycles, uncovering both destruction and unexpected forms of beauty.”

Ephemeral Odds Series

COMPOSITIONS WITH CARDBOARD, PAPER, SHELLS, PEBBLES, ACRYLIC AND PLASTIC WASTE, found at the beach.

Each piece explores mixed media on a 10×10 cm cardboard base, incorporating paper, shells, pebbles, sand, bushes, clay, and plastic waste—all found along the beach. These materials, rich in texture and history, reflect the interplay between nature and human-made debris. True to its name, Ephemeral Odds embodies impermanence: every piece is dismantled after being photographed, leaving only the image behind as a record of its existence.

Metamorphosis

SCULPTURES MADE OUT OF CLAY, SHELLS, PEBBLES AND SAND

After two decades in a fulfilling UX career, always balancing side creative projects, I’ve now stepped away to rediscover who I am—without the job title. In this journey, clay became my material of choice, a medium I can shape with feelings. At first, I leaned on my UX instincts, adding affordances—making the piece easy to hold. But I realized I needed to reject that ease, to let go of control and rational thought. Instead, I craved sharp shells, embedding them in the clay to make the piece difficult, uncomfortable, and even painful to hold—just like the emotions inside me.

“Crafting with handmade tools from nature, I let go of control, embracing unpredictability and connecting deeply with the natural world.”
