I’ve had a terrible memory for as long as I can remember. As a teenager I obsessively documented my life through diaries and planners. Even now, I maintain databases, calendars, timelines, and note-taking apps meticulously organized to catalog the books on my shelf, the shows I watch, the skincare products I use, the clothing I buy, and the places I go. I get through my day thanks to a plethora of to-do lists and reminders because if I don’t write it down, it doesn’t happen. My art practice, in contrast, developed from a pursuit to express what I can’t quite put into words – an introspective process driven by a longing to grasp what is always on the verge of being lost.

The Small Hours collection of ceramic wall reliefs is dedicated to externalizing personal observations and emotions into tangible keepsakes. Through five distinct series—Formations, Gestures, Monuments, Relics, and Spaces—I explore various facets of human experience, from natural landscapes captured in side-profile akin to topographical maps to effervescent body movements and treasured sentimental objects. Each piece memorializes something in particular: an everyday object, a small gesture, a fleeting moment, a peculiar memory, or a specific time and place. These forms are visual explorations of sentimentality, a result of my continuous attempts to preserve the ephemeral.
