Memory in matter 2
This sculptural eco friendly concrete wall relief explores the relationship between material, structure, and time. Layered surfaces, carved textures, and geometric forms create a balanced composition that evokes archaeological fragments and geological strata while maintaining a contemporary architectural language. The natural tone of the concrete enhances the interplay of light and shadow, revealing the subtle depth and texture of the relief. Designed to integrate seamlessly into contemporary interiors, the work brings quiet sophistication and sculptural presence to residential, hospitality, and curated architectural spaces.

I create sculptural wall reliefs from eco-friendly concrete, developing unique personal techniques that allow me to craft lightweight pieces with a powerful material and sculptural presence. The pieces are built through layers, grooves, cracks, and delicate interventions of color and gold. I am drawn to surfaces that bear the marks of time, weathering, and movement, and to the beauty that emerges from imperfection, exposure, and the traces left within the material. My creative process is rooted in an ongoing exploration of depth, rhythm, and light within a material traditionally perceived as heavy and rigid. The minimalist color paletteโmineral whites, grays, sand tones, and goldโallows light and shadow to become an integral part of the artwork, shifting dynamically throughout the day. I view these works as spaces for slow, quiet contemplation, bridging the connection between material, time, and presence.
