Fabricated Air (Clay)

In my practice, no image or object remains singular, demonstrating how antifragility can be used as an artistic strategy. My body of work, including propositional sculptures, artist books, prints, and physical objects, highlight the moment of transfer, the fluid moment when objects transform into other objects or images.

This body of work explores the intersection of collage, photography, and sculpture, focusing on their potential for transformation and adaptability. Central to my work, is the concept of antifragility, coined by economist Nassim Nicholas Taleb, which describes systems that grow stronger through chaos and disruption. I apply this theory in my work, examining how materials and processes can thrive through disruption, particularly in virtual spaces where objects and images are continuously appropriated, remixed, and modified.
