Style & Subject
Her sculptures are autobiographical and narrative-driven, exploring emotional states such as vulnerability, love, loss, longing, and desire. Her work is influenced by literature and fairy tales, often presenting seductive yet macabre, dreamlike figures. She is particularly known for creating haunting, surreal characters that appear fragile like porcelain but are in fact strong bronze forms, as seen in her Vigils Echo series. Her practice is deeply concerned with memory, imagination, and the shifting nature of thought and experience, often returning to recurring themes in an attempt to capture intangible, dreamlike states.
