Twenty years ago, my journey began with something small almost invisible. A tiny camera with a tripod crafted from screws and nuts, pieced together from what most would call scrap. What started on a tabletop slowly expanded into installations, until one day it stood tall as a 6-foot vintage camera, now a statement home-decor piece. The size changed, but the soul remained the same.
My raw materials have always come from everyday life: e-waste, domestic junk, broken toys, discarded wood, metal parts, wires, and forgotten objects. Things that had completed their original purpose found a second life in my hands. Each screw carries tension, each wire remembers its past, each toy fragment holds a trace of childhood.
Crafting miniatures taught me patience. Large installations taught me courage by experimenting with large scale materials. Together, they shaped my language as an artist where scale is flexible, but intent is constant. Every piece, whether palm-sized or human-height, asks the same question: Can waste be worthy? Two decades later, I still begin the same way by collecting, observing, and connecting dots.
