From an early age, I was drawn to creative expression, starting with drawing and gradually exploring other forms of art. Eventually, I discovered clay, and the fascination I have with this medium has been with me ever since. I work as a 3/D Fine Arts Teaching Assistant at Northern Virginia Community College. This experience has given me a unique perspective on the artistic learning process. From technical setbacks to moments of self-doubt, the way students navigate these obstacles is inspiring. In my own work, I draw inspiration from the past. Ceramics is one of the oldest art forms, and it has long served as a reflection of societal development and well-being. I view my practice as a dynamic dialogue between art and history— one that honors tradition while engaging with the present.
