Nothing is ever still. As the world unfolds, sculpture and installation become constellations of materials, histories, relationships, and processes through which meaning unfolds. Rather than resolving uncertainty, they cultivate presence and belief in an imagined future while meaning continually shifts as it takes shape. Materials are not inert; they respond, accumulate significance, and orient experience. From this dialogue, understanding emerges through participation rather than intellectual understanding alone. Assemblage recognizes how materials, people, environments, and cultural systems continually shape and transform one another. Form is the condensation of what is felt and encountered into something perceptible. Through gesture, experimentation, and material dialogue, making becomes a way to translate the human condition, guided by sensitivity and intuition as it reaches toward the ineffable, feeling along the edges of what can never be fully known.
