Artist's Statement:
In my current work I examine the ways emotional balance can be obtained through the interaction with an object. Adhering to the idea that the physical and emotional states affect one another, interaction with the object is essential. This exchange with the object externalizes the internal workings of the body, thus the object becomes a mechanism for self awareness.
