My work begins with a particular kind of fascination: noticing something  that catches my attention and stays with me. A mannerism, the shape of a collarbone, the way shoulder blades move, a particular nose, or a unique facial structure. These small, almost quiet details stay with me, creating a desire to remain close to them and to preserve what has caught me. Modelling becomes a form of affection, a way of getting closer to something I cannot quite put into words. Through sculpture, I try to hold on to that first impression and to create a presence that still carries something of the person, gesture, or moment that made me fall for it.
