My artistic practice explores memory, nostalgia, and cultural identity. I transform everyday objects and personal artifacts into intimate narratives through a combination of traditional metalsmithing techniques, 3D printing, and mixed media. My work engages in an ongoing dialogue between craftsmanship and contemporary materials, emphasizing the emotional weight and history embedded in objects. Through both wearable and immersive forms, I invite viewers to reflect on personal history, cultural heritage, and the passage of time.-
