My practice explores collective fears and cultural anxieties that shape how we relate to our environment, our bodies, and each other. Drawing from horror media, special effects, and cultural taboos, I create sculptural works that confront viewers with the abject, uncanny, and grotesque. 

As a ceramicist, I use clay and other sculptural materials to construct forms that evoke fear, not just as a personal emotion, but as a cultural phenomenon. Ceramics versatility makes it an ideal medium for exploring bodily vulnerability and evocative objects that provoke fear. I often work with representations of the human body configured in unsettling or unnatural ways that challenge our sense of familiarity and comfort. Bugs reoccur throughout my work as a symbol of infestation and loss of control. These motifs tap into deep-seated fears that surpass the personal and go into broader societal discomforts around decay, bodily autonomy, and infestation.  

In a world that encourages us to conceal and sanitize fear, I see art as a space to engage in it. My work invites viewers to sit with what unsettles them. I hope to create dialogue about what we fear, why we fear it, and how fears shape us collectively.
