STATEMENT

I work with bone as a conceptual and physical 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 reconfigure the bone into body, wound, and flesh. At a time when technology allows us to rebuild what biology once determined, the work reflects on the human desire to remake the body, a desire given new reach through repair, redesign, and reinvention.

Bone is itself a fragment, the part of the body that outlasts it. I draw on the fractured bodies of ancient Greek sculpture and their capacity to hold the essence of the whole within the part. That power of the fragment, its ability to carry presence beyond loss, finds an echo in my use of bone: a vessel of memory that retains presence even as it mutates. Bone shifts from structure to possibility, its transformations reflecting a technological moment in which data, optimization, and enhancement recast what a body might become.

My practice is grounded in sustained research into innovative technologies and the possibilities they hold for transforming human life, an inquiry that turned toward the body as technology’s most intimate site of intervention. In the studio, technology operates as both tool and conceptual catalyst. As tool, it enters the making itself: stone carving, casting, and draping meet 3D modeling, digital imaging, and medical imaging. As catalyst, it reimagines the body from within: through these dialogues between classical and digital processes I reshape 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.

The work is ultimately driven by a single question: how does the definition of the human evolve once the body, no longer fixed, is open to continual revision? That revision is already under way. The body exists now as both physical entity and virtual model, and technology moves through it as enabler and disruptor alike, a force that preserves, alters, and redefines what it can be. The inquiry narrows to essence: what remains, and what changes, in 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.
