Cast bronze quarter spheres and their shells, placed on hand-sewed pillow cover, covering the vent underneath. A part of installation "Mid-air, Remembering How It Feels to Want Things to Last”

I have always been drawn to magnetic spheres, to their perfect, smooth closure and the way they seal their interior logic. They are smooth, inaccessible systems that refuse to disclose how force circulates inside, unless contact is being made. Cutting into one becomes a way to breach that opacity and to watch a structure that was never meant to be seen from within. My fascination for these quarter spheres comes from that place where the cut is deliberate and exposing, driven by an intense curiosity that edges toward destruction.

My practice often begins with the inquiry toward understanding, yet confusion sometimes slides into an urge to interrupt. The desire to comprehend orders into the temptation to split something clean open, to render a system subjectively legible by creating an absence in it.
