In this Masturbation Sculpture, I explore the body as both a site of tension and transformation — where physical experience and mental evolution intersect. By centering on the intimate, often tabooed act of masturbation, the piece challenges conventional notions of shame and private pleasure, instead framing it as an act of release, regeneration, and even growth.The sculpture takes the form of a two-directional tunnel — one extending outward from the body, the other from the mind. These interconnected funnels represent the cyclical flow between corporeal release and intellectual awakening. Here, the body is not merely a vessel for desire but a charged site where energy circulates, discharges, and returns, reshaping our sensory and emotional landscapes.In a world where cultural, social, and personal constraints fracture the relationship between body and mind, this work carves open a space to confront vulnerability and autonomy. It invites viewers to question where power resides: in restraint, in release, or in the unapologetic merging of both.

In moments of anger, stress, fear, or nervousness, language often escapes us — either slipping into silence or spiraling out of control, further fracturing communication. I imagine an adjustable mechanical tool embedded in the neck, a symbolic prosthetic for regulating speech in these volatile states. This imagined device becomes a sculptural metaphor for the tension between internal emotion and external expression, between the self we feel and the self we present. It speaks to the complexities of identity negotiation, especially within unfamiliar cultural and social landscapes, where language is both a bridge and a barrier. By exploring this device, I investigate the human desire to manage vulnerability, control perception, and navigate the friction between personal and collective experience. This work continues my broader exploration of displacement and cultural translation, using material and form to dissect the social constructs that shape how we connect, communicate, and ultimately, belong.

To The Past reflects the tension between past and future — a deeply personal dilemma of longing to return to the moments, relationships, and experiences that shaped who I am today. It embodies my desire to reconnect with the past, to relive the memories and joys that continue to inform my present identity. By navigating between memory and possibility, the work explores how the past is not left behind but carried forward, continuously shaping the self. Through this piece, I invite viewers to reflect on their own attachments to time, memory, and the enduring threads between who we were and who we are becoming.

The Discomfort explores the tension between the body and its social casing — the moments when skin, flesh, and fabric collide under the pressure of expectation. The thin layer of extra flesh pressing against constrictive clothing becomes a site of discomfort, vulnerability, and exposure. Through the pale lines of strained expressions and the distorted textures of fabric, the work reveals the quiet struggle of conforming to imposed norms. By magnifying these intimate yet universal moments, the piece reflects on how social constructs shape our identities and physical presence, inviting viewers to confront the subtle burdens we carry in navigating belonging, visibility, and selfhood.

This sculpture reflects a formative memory from my childhood — the experience of wearing a school uniform intentionally purchased a few sizes too large, so it would last through years of growth. It speaks to the quiet negotiations of care, adaptation, and economic necessity within my family. By reimagining this personal memory through sculpture, I explore themes of identity, transition, and the socio-economic dimensions that shape our daily lives. The work transforms a familiar object into a site of reflection, bridging the personal and collective experience of growing up within systems of scarcity and resilience.

In Key Personified, I juxtapose the image of a key with my own meditative side portrait to explore the idea of unlocking the inner self. The key becomes a metaphor for personal introspection — a tool to access hidden layers of identity and transcend the distractions of the external world. Through this work, I reflect on the search for internal clarity amid the noise of contemporary life, inviting viewers to consider the transformative potential of looking inward. As in much of my practice, familiar forms are reassembled to challenge assumptions and open space for contemplation on the fluidity of self and the complexities of human experience.

While people approach to find and engage with me, I stand slightly apart — not out of isolation, but in a conscious act of distancing to reflect, discover, and unravel myself from within. This quiet space of solitude allows me to explore questions of identity, cultural translation, and belonging. Through this tension between presence and withdrawal, I examine the fluid boundaries between the individual and the collective, between the seen and the unseen, carving a path toward deeper self-awareness and shared human experience.
