This body of work explores psychological trauma and healing as a physical narrative through the sculpted portrait and meaningful objects.
Inspired by the ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi, a philosophy of seeing beauty in imperfection, the work questions the tension between destruction and repair, fragility and resilience and thoughts about what it is to be human. The fractured work seeks to consider a critical engagement with the viewer, confronting fundamental questions of the inner self.
