Growing up on a sailboat during my youth, the ocean became a wellspring of inspiration for me. It was during the creation of a particular sculpture that the essence of a whale emerged, almost as if from my the fragments of my subconscious. It wasn’t a deliberate intention; rather, it unfolded naturally as I worked with the organic flow of reed, shaping it to generate forms that echoed the beauty of nature. Each twist and turn in the reed became a deliberate expression, evoking a sense of familiarity and connection. As a light nestled within the sculpture illuminates its ethereal form, it springs to life, casting shadows that evoke a profound sense of wonder.
