'Pleats Vase No.7'
Exploring wood’s endless possibilities, this vessel is born from repetitive action and observation. Fascinated by the textures of chopped firewood, the artist restores it to its trunk-like form through a process of splitting, carving, and joining. Subverting the soulless effects of human intervention, the piece encourages listening, respecting, and ultimately returning the material to a place of origin.

"[He] purposefully splinters the surface of the wood to create different kinds of structures and carves out the inside to create a vessel."
