Even after 15 years of working with glass, the allure and magic of this material remain as tangible as ever. The constant challenge it presents, combined with the inherent beauty of the material itself, keeps me relentlessly pursuing new artistic endeavors. My primary focus as an artist centers on crafting utilitarian objects. I aim to create palettes and shapes that enhance the spaces we inhabit. In a world characterized by uncertainty and constant questioning, I find solace in celebrating my role in making items I consider beautiful. These creations become an integral part of our homes and daily rituals, adding a touch of beauty.
