My works merge realms of nature and industry, softness and hardness. Industrial iron bells undergo a transformation, becoming images of thorns and flowers, where cold metal acquires an organic, living quality. The melting point is the moment of change, when the material loses its original identity and is reborn as a sensitive form, imbued with memory and imagination. In this encounter between pain and beauty, protection and vulnerability, the metallic past and the growing present, emerges the possibility of transforming alienation into vitality, finding delicacy and hope at the heart of rigidity.
