STATEMENT

I work with the 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 3D modeling and imaging technologies, I construct forms that echo the bone and speculate on bodies reconfigured through technological intervention. My work reflects on how data-driven systems increasingly position the body as editable and open to redesign, reshaping how it is conceived, represented, and projected, and raising questions about what the body is, and what it may yet become.

In my practice, the bone is treated not as an anatomical object but as a conceptual structure. The persistence of fragmented Greek sculpture, 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. In my work, the bone shifts from structure to possibility, unfolding into body parts, flesh, wounds, or bodily 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, releasing the body from its given forms and opening it to speculative transformation. My background and research into technological innovations provide the foundation for this approach. I begin with the bone, but the works move beyond anatomy through a dialogue between classical sculptural processes -stone carving, casting, 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 not yet fully defined and pointing toward futures shaped by the tension between what we know and what we can imagine.

My practice is ultimately driven by questions about how the very 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 a 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.
