My work explores the cyclical nature of life.

The ground we walk on holds memory and bears witness to our past and present.

We are one with nature; we coexist.

The growth of wild vegetation, ecological succession, bears witness to the passing of time.

Trees hold a particular significance in my life; they are a tangible connection to the past and present.

This reflection resonates within my work through clay and botanical inclusions.

Inspired by the Japanese tradition of Ikebana, with an emphasis on heaven and earth through mindful intention,

I pay homage through intentional placement of the desiccated seed heads and fallen branches.

These values guide how I arrange and present my work, encouraging a more reflective relationship between nature and humanity.

It is a gentle reminder to be still in the present, contemplative of our past and to hold hope for our future.
