Botanical Sculptures & Large-Scale Installations

​

The sculpture is neither a literal flower nor a portrait. Its overlapping forms recall a cluster of calla lilies, yet the blooms are intentionally left without centers. Their absence introduces a sense of incompleteness - like a memory that remains vivid around its edges while something essential at its core cannot be reached. From a distance, the petals also begin to suggest a face or a quiet human presence held within the composition.

This ambiguity reflects the nature of memory itself: familiar images return transformed by time, distance, and emotion. Lily Face holds both the warmth of a childhood afternoon and the grief of separation. What began as an embroidered flower in my grandmother’s hands has returned decades later in another material, another country, and an unfinished form.
