Sculpture

Shrine

Papier-mâché, acrylic paint, beads, metal jewelry connectors, etc

2025

I grew up in the Orthodox Christian tradition, where religious icons and sacred objects were always kinda present in our life. You always knew which saint to pray to, whether you were sick, hoping for a child, or wanting protection for your home. There was comfort in believing that you can rely on someone greater.

But what happens when you realise that you don't believe in God? How do you navigate your life then? I’m not entirely sure, so I created a shrine anyway — an object I reclaimed from my religious upbringing. This time, however, I’m not asking gods or saints to fulfill my wishes. Instead, this shrine has become a space for nurturing the peace and strength I carry within myself.

Sculpture out of Found Objects

When you know something is not right.

Created as part of a group experiment at Common Ground UdK, using objects we found in Neukölln, Berlin. 

Connection with nature

Air-dry clay

Work in eternal progress

This piece is one of my attempts to create a living sculpture, where an air plant is a taking the central role. Over time, growth will reshape it, turning the work into something evolving rather than fixed.

As a way to channel my frustration with life, I created this set of “almost functional pieces.” I often find myself waiting for something, suspended in an in-between state, stuck in a moment that refuses to resolve. Creating and connecting are what keep me going in these uncertain times, opening up small possibilities and giving me a growing sense that things are, slowly but surely, moving toward something better.
