Statement
Breaking, tearing, stepping on, hitting, burning, shooting... these are not merely gestures of destruction, they can be gestures of creation.
In a fire, flames can become wild, destructive, and chaotic. Yet in the controlled heat of a ceramic kiln, that same energy reorganizes matter at the atomic
level, making it stronger and more resilient. When we apply destructive forces like fire or bullets with intention, we begin to explore the delicate threshold
between violence and transformation, between harm and artistry.
What we often perceive as violent actions can, in fact, open the door to new artistic languages. Destruction becomes another tool in the creative process.
Through these so-called “destructive gestures”, I develop sculptural works: breaking and melting glass bottles, stepping onto clay slabs, perforating metal
and ceramics... Each act revealing something essential about the material and its resistance.
In my practice, I explore the physical limits of materials by subjecting it to direct, sometimes violent interventions, and I document the process as a way
to reflect on the cycles of damage, resilence and trasnformation.
