I’ve focused on exploring through sculpture how nature influences my sense of self, which for me feels similar to searching for the fundamental truths of nature. Nature is mysterious. It creates in me a sense of awe for the universe while urging me to reconsider the meaning of life and to be more self-aware. In my current practice, the elements of nature that inspire my work are water and mountains. For me, water is an essential element of nature and an object for meditation; it evokes thoughts of time and memory. It inspires me to project my creative spirit into my artwork. Mountains convey limitless energy and make me think about space, time, and my life. In connection with these two elements of nature, I am interested in self-image, memory, reflections, and shadows. Water and mountain imagery and symbols are intimately linked to human experiences such as memory, movement, time, and encounters with life and death. They have provided protection, strength, and sustenance throughout our evolution and existence, as well as a magical connection to nature. Mountains and water offer limitless possibilities for me to communicate with nature through my art. Meditation is an important tool in my work.
