My work investigates the dynamic relationship between environmental change and material presence, where landscape is understood not only as image or subject, but as a lived and layered material reality. Materials are approached as carriers of ecological narratives—bearing the marks of time, climate, extraction, and transformation.

Natural processes such as erosion, sedimentation, decay, and regeneration serve as both formal and conceptual frameworks. Materials—whether organic, found, or altered—are selected for their embedded histories and physical responses to environmental conditions. Texture, weight, and surface become indicators of broader ecological forces at play.

Rather than presenting the landscape as static or idealized, the work reflects the tension between human intervention and natural resilience. Surfaces crack, crumble, absorb, and shift—mirroring the instability of contemporary ecological systems and the impermanence of the environments they reference.

The practice aims to cultivate a material language that is responsive, attentive, and grounded in place. Making becomes a form of environmental observation—an act of listening to the land through the materials it yields and the stories they hold. Through this interplay of form and matter, the work invites reflection on stewardship, interconnectedness, and the shifting boundaries between human and non-human worlds.
