This series grew from my fascination with identity and the many ways in which we present ourselves to the world.
By partially concealing the face, I invite the viewer to look beyond appearance. What do we see when familiar features disappear? What remains when part of our identity is hidden?
Every sculpture is made by hand in my studio and incorporates a freshwater pearl, a tribute to my mother, and an element that has become both personal and meaningful within my work.
Although each sculpture tells its own story, together they explore questions that continue to preoccupy me: who we are, how we see ourselves, and how we are seen by others.
My hope is that the work encourages people to pause, to look a little longer, and perhaps to discover something of themselves in it.
