Reliefs

I started making these reliefs in 2021 when I needed to get out of my head and into something physical. I was surrounded by construction sites, and I began collecting what the city threw away, pieces of cement, broken boards, half-empty spray cans. Working with these materials became a way of learning my intuition and letting go of control. The forms started to look like landscapes, volcanoes, skin, bark, and strange topographies that sit somewhere between nature and industry. I feel a strong connection to materials and to what they have been part of before becoming waste. There is something both critical and tender in working with what is left behind. Over time, this practice became more poetic for me, a way of seeing the industrial world as something geological, emotional, and alive.
