Artist Statement
My textile practice explores the alchemy of material transformation through flame. By folding, cutting, sewing, layering, and burning upcycled synthetic fabrics, I reveal hidden textures and dimensions within the material. Through this process, I draw, paint, and sculpt with fire, transforming ordinary fabric into delicate, ethereal forms. Burnt edges, rich textures, and soft shadows express the dualities of destruction and creation, vulnerability and resilience, and transformation and decay.
For me, flame is a metaphor for human existence itself. Just as fire alters fabric, life shapes and transforms us through our experiences. Challenges, losses, and moments of growth leave their marks, redefining who we are. Through the act of scorching and transforming fabric, I explore how vulnerability can become a source of strength and how beauty can emerge through change.
