Through aggressive actions of cutting, tearing, and deformation, I aim to challenge the perfection of the machine. This piece represents my completely spontaneous and unrestricted self-expression. My goal was to create a sculptural object with a strong, dynamic structure that delves into the symbolic darkness of our current times. The title "October Rose" is intentionally conscious and unambiguous. The object's form—a whirling circle filled with anxiety and dominated by dark colour—paired with the poetic title, "October Rose," invites the viewer to contemplate and assess the times we live in.

Bio
Abstraction is my primary language. I am drawn to contrasts: harmony and disharmony, movement and stillness, order and disorder, black and white. These dualities form the backbone of my visual inquiry. Through abstraction, I offer an open space for connection—where meaning is not prescribed but felt, and where both artist and viewer are free to engage on their own terms. My practice is rooted in precision and patience. Each project is a process of discovery—an opportunity to encounter something unexpected, something that moves me forward. Fiber art is the heart of my practice.
