Artist's Statement

My work calls attention to the beauty of nature that often goes unnoticed, particularly petals, stems, plants, and other elements of nature which continuously fuel my inspiration. When surrounded by nature, I find the sense of belonging that I search for as an immigrant in a foreign land. I use underglaze trailing and painting techniques on ceramics to illustrate exaggerated forms, colors, and textures that are derived from my experience of being in nature. By letting my imagination guide the use of plants and petals in my work, I hope to bring that joy into others' everyday rituals. As one explores the intimate details of my work, I would like to emphasize that I intend to encourage viewers to observe the minute details of all aspects of our surroundings and appreciate the significance of our co-existence.
