STATEMENT

I work with bone as a conceptual and sculptural structure, using it as a starting point for thinking about the body and its possible futures. Combining classical sculptural techniques with technological processes, I construct forms that echo the bone and speculate on bodies reconfigured through technological intervention. My work reflects on how contemporary technologies increasingly position the body as editable and open to redesign, reshaping how it is conceived, represented, and projected.

The persistence of fragmented Greek sculpture and its ability to hold the essence of the whole within the part, finds an echo in my use of the bone as a contemporary fragment, a vessel of memory that carries presence even as it mutates or changes form. Like those ancient fragments, the bone in my work endures, transforms, and still holds something essential. The bone shifts from structure to possibility, unfolding into body parts, flesh, wounds, and surfaces. These transformations reflect a technological moment in which data, optimization, and enhancement recast the body as open to redesign, continually reshaping how we understand what a body might become.

Technology functions in my practice as a conceptual catalyst, a way of seeing and reimagining the body from within. My background and research in technological innovation provide the foundation for this approach. I begin with the bone, but the works move beyond anatomy through a dialogue between classical sculptural processes including stone carving, casting, and draping, and the possibilities introduced by 3D modeling, digital imaging, and medical imaging. Through these methods, I reconfigure and transform bone forms, generating structures that suggest bodies open to reinvention and futures shaped by the tension between what we know and what we can imagine.

My practice is ultimately driven by questions about how the definition of the human evolves when the body is no longer understood as fixed but as open to continual revision. As the body becomes increasingly understood as both physical entity and virtual model, technology appears as both enabler and disruptor, a force that preserves, alters, and redefines what the body can be. These concerns turn toward questions of essence: what remains, and what changes, as the body enters new contexts? In this shifting terrain, the body appears as an evolving architecture, shaped as much by what it has endured as by what it may yet become.
