Wall Sculptures with Hand-made Papers Floral Relief
This body of work is built from paper formed entirely by hand — petal by petal, from pulp steeped in natural mineral pigments and botanical materials. Thousands of individual forms are layered onto a single surface, constructing a living topography that shifts with light and holds the memory of each gesture made in its creation.
I fold small pieces of paper and place them side by side, adding each element slowly over time. Individually, these gestures are quiet and unassuming; together they form something expansive and resonant. These works are not paintings, nor sculptures in the traditional sense. They exist between categories — tactile, organic, irreplaceable. No two pieces can ever be identical. Every work carries within it the material memory of the earth.
I understand texture as a form of sensory intelligence — one that reaches toward the sense of touch, even when touch is not possible. Through layered paper, folds, and accumulated surface, the work engages the body as much as the eye. It is made for spaces where art should do more than decorate: where it should anchor, inspire, and endure.
