Artist Statement

The Fired Memories collection blends painting and
ceramics to recreate personal memories that have shaped
me, particularly those from travels over the past
decade. Each piece begins as a vessel - formed, shaped,
and refined-before being transformed into a canvas for
storytelling. Through color, texture, and glaze, I turn fleeting experiences into tangible objects,
preserving moments that have left a lasting impact. By engaging with the work,
I hope others find connections to their own
memories, sparking reflection, nostalgia, or even
inspiration for new adventures.
