Sculptural works shaped by gesture, gravity, and transformation—offered here as traces of becoming.

The Mirae page presents a selection of sculptural works created between 1996 and 2019. Carved from stone, mammoth ivory, and hardwoods—with one self-portrait sculpted in clay—these pieces trace a tactile and enduring dialogue with form, presence, and spirit.

​

Each sculpture was shaped slowly, directly by hand—through resistance, weight, and the intimate rhythm of carving. The materials themselves held stories: fossilized ivory, ancient tools, heavy woods, and luminous stone. In working them, I was listening—following the line of life, responding to what revealed itself through touch and time.

​

These works move between figuration and myth—flowering bodies, birds in flight, serpents coiled in the seed, ancestral faces, guardians of memory. Some are deeply personal: the iris for my grandmother, the egret of creation, the shell unfurling into spirit. Others emerged through archetype and instinct—forms that carry both sensuality and stillness, awakening and offering.

​

Held together across decades, they mark an ongoing inquiry into transformation, embodiment, and the nature of becoming.

This practice always brought me back to what is real—what holds, what guides, and what is worth the effort of shaping with care.
