Artist's Statement:
Time is at the heart of my work—both in material and meaning. Using antique watch parts, I create intricate miniature sculptures that breathe new life into forgotten mechanisms. Each gear, dial, and spring is repurposed to tell a new story, blending history with imagination. My pieces often explore themes of nostalgia, transformation, and the fleeting nature of time itself.

Beyond watch parts, I work in ephemeral art forms, including sand, pumpkin, and cardboard sculptures—mediums that celebrate impermanence and the beauty of the moment. Whether shaping intricate sandcastles, carving pumpkins into dynamic animals, or crafting lifelike creatures from recycled cardboard, many of these works exist only briefly before they return to nature. The temporary nature of these sculptures highlights the transient beauty of art and life, reinforcing my fascination with time’s passage.

Across all mediums, my goal is to capture wonder and evoke emotion, inviting viewers to pause and reflect. Whether it’s an heirloom watch scene preserving a timeless moment or a sculpture that will soon disappear, each piece tells a story—one that is both deeply personal and universally understood.
