"‘Risen From Ashes’ celebrates the transformative journey of creation from discarded materials—desert debris and junk reborn into art. Each fragment tells a story of resilience and renewal, challenging perceptions of value and beauty. Through this sculpture, I aim to inspire reflection on sustainability and the potential for beauty in overlooked places."

"My sculpture, 'Echoes of Failure,' delves into the poignant exploration of generational trauma, sacrifice, and the harsh reality of perceived failure. Crafted from weathered, discarded materials evoking rust and dust, the artwork embodies the weight of unresolved histories and the complexities of familial dynamics.
At its heart, the sculpture portrays a being who, driven by an earnest desire to heal generational wounds, undertakes a sacrificial journey. Despite their efforts, they confront the stark realization of perceived failure. The materials used, each bearing the scars of neglect, symbolize the enduring echoes of trauma that persist across generations.
The guardian angel, amidst the textured composition, embodies a poignant contrast of vigilance and weariness. Witnessing their efforts and the unintended consequences, the angel stands as a silent witness to the complexities of human frailty and societal judgment.
Through the interplay of textures and forms, 'Echoes of Failure' invites viewers to reflect on the universal themes of generational trauma, sacrifice, and the profound impact of perceived failure. It challenges us to confront the nuances of human experience—of striving with noble intent yet grappling with the shadows of unintended outcomes."
