As a Pisces, water is not merely her element but her spiritual compass. Over time, she has realized that aquatic environments represent far more than a personal refuge or a swimming challenge; water is a formidable, intricate energy—simultaneously life-sustaining and transformative—that necessitates a profound interior reckoning.
In this specific artistic series, she intertwines the fluidity of water with a deep-seated passion for archaeology. Rather than focusing on opulent treasures, she is drawn to the utilitarian remnants of history—the humble, everyday pottery that speaks of domestic life through the ages.
She investigates the evolution of vessels designed to cradle and preserve this vital liquid. These objects, often intricately adorned, serve as silent witnesses to ancient civilizations, offering glimpses into forgotten cultures that have weathered the erosion of time.
Her creative vision is further fueled by memories of scuba expeditions, navigating through sunken shipwrecks and vibrant coral reefs. Beyond simple ceramics, she reflects on the clay Goddesses fashioned by ancient hands as protective amulets, wondering how many of these sacred storytellers remain submerged on the ocean floor.
Expanding beyond two-dimensional works, she has developed 3D vessels utilizing linen, Kona cotton, and collage—textile interpretations of the wood, stone, and clay containers used since the dawn of humanity.
Her method is intrinsically tied to a lifelong immersion in textile traditions. Growing up amidst vibrant fabrics and complex patterns, the act of making became a somatic, instinctive language. Though she once distanced herself from this heritage, she now embraces it through the rhythmic process of printing, tearing, and painting paper. These techniques honor ancestral textile crafts while merging with contemporary painterly forms.
Through these textured layers, her work explores how humanity has consistently transformed functional items into objects of enduring beauty, maintaining their roles as vessels, talismans, and art for millennia.
