This body of small sculptural studies marks a new, experimental direction in my practice—leaning further into abstraction while continuing to explore intimacy, interference, and the digital tools that mediate care. These works operate less as narrative illustrations and more as spatial inquiries, where form, color, and material act as proxies for emotion, history, and proximity. By minimizing overt symbolism, each piece becomes a compact system—one that resists immediate legibility in favor of mood, memory, and encoded tension.

Untitled (Nail) is perhaps the most tactile and pointed of the series—anchored by a sharp, scalloped silhouette rendered in a deep, lacquered burgundy. The shape suggests both softness and armor: a petal, a paw, or a defensive flourish. A singular, oval embellishment at the bottom—embedded with multicolored glitter and mounted like a gem—takes on the role of a fingernail or adornment, simultaneously glamorous and weaponized. The interplay of high-shine plastic, industrial hardware, and that single burst of sparkle creates a delicate friction between utility and ornament. It’s a compact portrait of polish, precision, and assertion—small but unmissable, like a well-manicured warning.
