This body of work explores process, rhythm, and material interaction through machine-assisted and hand-led making. Threads, repetition, and movement become central elements, allowing forms to emerge through a dialogue between control and chance.

 
The work reflects on systems of making and the relationship between human action, material response, and the evolving structure of the piece, where patterns develop, shift, and accumulate over time.
