Land holds memory. So does glass.

​

My work begins in landscape — the shifting terrain of my birthplace and the hills of my present home in Northern California — and in the question of what it means to carry one place inside another. As an immigrant, I have long examined the relationship between external terrain and internal memory. Psychology gave me a language for that inquiry; glass gives me a material.

​

Since 2014, I have worked with Pâte de Verre, an ancient casting technique, developing an original approach that departs from its traditional plaster silica molds. Glass becomes an analogy for the human condition: fragile and resilient, transparent and concealing, shaped entirely by pressure and heat.

​

I am drawn to what landscapes hold in common — the intimate and the vast, the personal and the collective. Growing up amid conflict and now witnessing ongoing dissension in the world, I find myself drawn to what connects us beneath our differences — the fragility we share, the resilience we discover. My work is an invitation into that search.
