Statement
I work with organic materials — leaves, flowers, stones — assembling them into fragile compositions that exist briefly before they dissolve.
These arrangements are not preserved.
Through photography and digital transformation, they become images that extend the life of a moment.
My background in choreography shapes this process. Each work is approached as a trace of movement — a moment where action has passed, yet remains present. Balance, rhythm, and suspension translate from the body into still form.
The works are realised across aluminium, wood, and silk. Each surface introduces a distinct physical and perceptual condition. The image adapts to the material, while the material reshapes the image — shifting its weight, its distance, its breath.
I do not attempt to preserve nature.
I follow its transformation.
The work moves through a cycle: from soil to living form, from living form to image, from image back into material.
At a certain point, this movement condenses.
Where time, having unfolded through multiple states, gathers itself again into clear crystal form.
The cycle closes.
And in this closure, it prepares to begin again.
Developed in Bali, this body of work is part of an ongoing method I call Bali Ku, exploring transformation, presence, and the tension between ephemerality and extended time.
