My experimental textile practice explores the alchemy of material transformation through flame. I draw and sculpt with fire, reshaping synthetic fabrics into delicate, ethereal forms whose burnt edges and soft shadows evoke dreams, decay, and renewal. I also translate these altered textiles into emotional landscapes through photography, offering new ways to engage with textile materiality.

I am inspired by artists like Lucio Fontana, whose cuts opened new dimensions of space. Similarly, I’m drawn to direct interventions—slicing, burning, reshaping—to reveal what lies beneath the surface and to expose the invisible tensions and energies held within material.

Through scorching, I explore the balance between fragility and strength, destruction and creation, vulnerability and resilience, honoring the unexpected beauty that emerges when we embrace transformation. Scorching also becomes a metaphor for the human condition: like flame on cloth, our experiences mark and reshape us, deepening our texture and revealing unexpected resilience.
