Bone & Ash
Bone & Ash explores the relationship between identity, memory, and transformation. Bone symbolises the enduring essence of the self, the inner structure shaped by experience yet rooted beyond it.
Ash represents the traces of the past, carrying memories of change without allowing them to define the present. Together, the sculptures reflect on resilience, growth, and renewal, suggesting that our histories remain within us not as burdens, but as subtle textures that shape our evolving sense of self.
