Between Fissure and Continuity

My work is built from matter in a state of interruption.
My works begin with rupture, the cut, the break, the fracture, not as an event to be concealed, but as thegenerative condition of form. Through the use of porcelain, handmade papers, natural fibers, urushi, and gold, I develop a practice in which the gesture of repair does not seek to restore a lost unity, but toestablish new possible continuities.
In this context, the fissure ceases to be a flaw and begins to operate as structure. Gold does not correct; it reveals. The cut does not interrupt; it reorganizes.
Among fragments, sutures, and tensioned surfaces, I investigate emptiness as an active interval. A spacewhere matter reconfigures itself and time settles in layers.
By incorporating ancestral techniques andknowledge, I articulate tradition and contemporaneitywithin the same field, producing works that existbetween permanence and dissolution, betweenmatter and transformation.
