This biomorphic sculpture is part of the series of work that explores the entity of the form during the process of transitioning from one realm to the other, from one stage of development to the next one. I use an abstract organic shape to suggest the ambiguity of the process, signify the importance of the change and difficulty of the transitioning. In my creative process I explore the relationship between sculptural form and the surface treatment and integrate the idea of interchangeability between flat image and three-dimensionality of sculpture.

Before jumping into the creation of the actual work, I research the subject matter, make multiple sketches and get a general idea of the final outcome, but in many cases the idea develops itself and takes over. I like to let it go and follow the creative flow. All my work is hand-built and hand-painted with underglazes.
