Epoxy reflects the fluidity and changeability I saw in the movement of volcanic eruptions.
Metal symbolizes strength and durability, reminding me of volcanic rocks that are born in fire and undergo intense processes of transformation.
The finishing touches – gold and copper – are meant to capture the energy and power that accompany natural processes of transformation.
The work, which brings these materials together, is like a volcano—silent on the surface, yet concealing immense power.
It tells a story of the search for balance, the attempt to find light in darkness, and the ongoing process of transformation, both in nature and within ourselves.
"Lightkeepers" is a story about the struggle that takes place within us and around us.
It is a tale of searching for light in the darkness, of transformation that is not always easy, but ultimately leads to balance.
Each sculpture I create is a fragment of this inner journey—one that confronts chaos, but also embraces the harmony that can emerge through accepting change.
In this work, I strive to capture the dynamic process in which matter merges with energy, forming shapes that are both strong and subtle.
"Lightkeepers" is an invitation to explore that balance – in nature and in art.

I create sculptures that speak about the human experience – our fragility, strength, transformation, and the search for inner balance. At the core of my practice is the human body – not only as a physical form, but as a carrier of emotion, symbolism, and personal history. I’m drawn to what lies beneath the surface: tension, contradiction, states of suspension. My work exists at the intersection of nature and civilization, intuition and structure, light and shadow.
I work with resin, metal, pigments, and natural textures to capture matter in a moment of transformation. I believe sculpture is not just an object, but a space of encounter – with oneself, with movement, with the unspoken. I often explore the idea of duality, mirrored presence, and the coexistence of opposites. Series like Lightkeepers and Adam 2.0 are personal reflections on the condition of contemporary humanity, seeking meaning in a world full of contradictions.
For me, the creative process is a form of meditation – a dialogue with material, where shape emerges alongside inner understanding. Sculpture becomes a language through which I ask questions about who we are, where we are going, and what traces we leave in the space we help shape.
