TextIt assumes many forms. Its breath is precious, swift, and majestic. It emerges from the sea at night. It crawls onto rocks, sheds its feathers, and returns to the sea. Those who find its feathers spin, weave, and make caftans.
The one who wears the caftan will emerge as a savior.

Albedo

A silent face, in balance, accepting its existence, peaceful.
Created from soil like Adam, Adam's first wife..
Her back came to the ground, touched the ground, harmonized with the ground,
Adam's back to the sky,
Earth is matriarchal,
Sky is patriarchal,
And this created two extremes;
Soil representing fertility, productivity, on the other hand death.
The sky representing divinity and purity…

Master Hu

For centuries, we thought mistletoe to be a lucky plant. Because the ancient Druids cut him down with a golden sickle? Is it because it’s considered as a sacred herb and was used to treat spiritual ailments? We hang a mistletoe branch on our doors for good luck at Christmas time; I hoped for help from this strange parasite that clings to trees such as oak and pine, sucks the sap of the trees, causes their leaves to turn yellow and the trees to fall asleep, but preserves its own greenery like this»… I said. Master Hu replied; “Yes, neither wood nor leaves of it are used, but when winter comes, it is it’s fruits that keep the forest-dwelling birds alive. The essence of mistletoe nut also regenerates human cells… The world is a very interesting place. It wouldn't be so interesting if we knew everything. Then there would be no scenery left for the imagination, would it?'

About

My artistic production is not the result of a linear background; it is an intuitive accumulation formed over time. Experiences from different fields, though not directly related to art, constitute the conceptual ground of my creative process.
The relationship that began with line gradually evolved into volume and then into the resistance of metal. The search for form that started with clay turned into passion when it encountered the rigidity of metal.
Believing that the greatest economic reality is happiness, my sculptures take shape through intuition, accompanied by imagination.
