The clock strikes five in the morning, and I’m on my way home. I take out my headphones and listen to a city that sleeps. In the distance, a car approaches, its headlights blinding me through the reflection in the scratched plexiglass of the bus shelter. A streetlamp flickers above me, its faulty contact creating a strobe effect that makes the frost on the asphalt shimmer.

I explore light through craftsmanship, how we experience it, remember it, and shape our surroundings with it. Memories built around stars, lightning, bonfires and flashing emergency lights. Or the everyday glow of cars, signs, the sun and screens. Through sculptures in copper and silver, I capture fragments of these experiences, moments where light and material meet, where reflections and shadows tell their own stories.
