  • Chalco

    Additional Artwork Images: Artwork Description: Chalco was born from an extraordinary gift: the wings of a Chalcosoma beetle, entrusted to me by an entomologist. Their remarkable beauty inspired the creation of this delicate figure. Once a protective shield, these wings now catch the light, becoming a symbol of transformation and freedom. The winged figure stands…

  • Contortion

    Additional Artwork Images: Artwork Description: Yogi or gymnast, she is warming up, finding her balance on this piece of driftwood. The body curves, stretches, and flows like a breath in motion. In a moment of intense focus, she prepares herself—mind and muscles—seeking balance, presence, and inner strength. Carved wood, a rosy hue, natural elements, and…

  • Ébouriffé

    Additional Artwork Images: Artwork Description: Ébouriffé was created from the head down. It all began with an unexpected pairing: half of an echinops flower resting on a goldenrod gall.

It is a modification of the first ray of the dorsal…

  • Scaffolding

    Artwork Description: This series of sculptural work reimagines the architectural unit as a fractured, body-like form suspended between collapse and reconstruction. Cast in concrete and plaster, the object appears both artificial and organic, its irregular surface disrupted by a central rupture. Instead of functioning as a traditional support system, the steel framework operates as a…
