Through sculptural techniques I aim to encompass what it means to develop ones own truth, Justifying my reasoning through contemplative action, and pausing to take in the moment before it moves out of reach

I believe in question-led, individualized approaches to learning, emphasizing the nuanced differences between deconstruction and destruction within a critically active mind. I aim to hold space for generative collaboration by asking students to discuss their progress with their peers, thereby encouraging them to reclaim ownership of the classroom and understand the value of creative common space. I emphasize that iterative research and development are crucial to the execution of conceptual ideas. By cultivating an environment where diverse failures are viewed as valuable learning opportunities, I foster resilience, curiosity, and growth. Additionally, I encourage avant-garde research and support students in creatively twisting project parameters to push boundaries while remaining anchored to the elements and principles of art.
