I am fascinated by the tactile possibilities of glass and use kiln-forming as my primary technique. The collision between controlled digital imagery and the unpredictability of glassworking sparks my curiosity. Through precise control of temperature and material interactions, I create unexpected textures and visual effects—some rough and fragmented, others fluid and luminous. My work challenges the notion of glass as rigid and cold, instead using it as a medium for narrative and emotion. By combining contrasting techniques, I explore themes of vulnerability, transformation, and resilience, using glass as both my language and my armor to confront memories, fears, and uncertainties.
