Desire has shaped our insatiable drive and behavior. Its a part of the human experience that is both cultural and biological. Inspired by moments of intimacy that toe the line between our carnally driven desires and the hunger for empathy, I try to capture the intoxicating lure of indulgence and the vulnerability it inflicts on our fragile nature. Using the wild and erotic character of the natural environment, I abstract forms found both in biology and botany reflecting on cultural obsessions of beauty and desire. By creating sculptures that tease the viewers’ inability to control their attraction, I aim to capture the visceral experience of our carnal nature as freakishly alien and indifferent. Unveiling the awkward, comical, and grotesque moments of desire, by flirting with the introverted perversions of being human.
