‘Elements of Nature’ is a study of the five elements – earth, fire, water, metal, wood. The idea that there is a connection between all living and nonliving entities in our world has resonated with philosophers, religions and cultures throughout time.

As an artist, this concept provides a construct to explore color, texture, transparency, reflection and particularly, materiality. It also highlights how the natural world spans diversity and difference. The juxtaposition of modern, sleek surfaces with natural materials underscore the current crisis between man and the survival of our planet. My floor and wall sculptural work employs mixed media such as acrylic polymers and acrylic convex mirrors with natural materials such as ash, wood, metal, soil, and more. By utilizing reflective materials in the new work, the viewer becomes a part of the sculpture or wall art - a part of nature.
