My soft sculptures are extensions of the HUG—where tenderness meets tension, and intimacy is laced with ambiguity. They resemble oversized limbs, looping arms, or suspended embraces—gestures that teeter between comfort and constraint. These forms are both familiar and uncanny, echoing the safety of childhood objects while carrying the psychic weight of adult emotion. There’s a dreamlike charge in their presence—at once playful and unsettling.

Made from recycled and repurposed materials, they carry a history, a lived texture. Their softness belies their complexity - each bend and curve is a question of boundaries, of closeness, of care that can both hold and overwhelm.

These sculptures continue my exploration of the body—particularly the feminine body—as a site of memory, nurture, and wisdom. They invite touch, yet resist easy categorization. In their loops and negative spaces, they create a quiet, tactile language—one that speaks to what we carry, what we release, and how we find form in feeling.
