Statement

I am fascinated with how vessels express the ideological world in different cultural contexts. I am always searching the symbol of the evolution of ideas in the age. My work is the vision of my Weltanschauung. I enjoy the feeling of materializing my dream into a piece of metal, bones, or feather.
