‘Words in Wood’ is an artistic exploration that addresses three profound, personal questions by shaping them into abstract, tangible forms through carving. This project seeks to answer those questions both through written reflections and carved forms, merging thought and craftsmanship into a unified expression.
The process merges intuitive flow with the foresight demanded by wood’s subtractive nature, creating a space for reflection and emotional transformation. Embracing imperfections serves as a metaphor for personal growth, turning mistakes into essential elements of the artist’s creative journey.
This work represents the many uncertainties and fears that so many, especially in their twenties, experience. It offers a refuge for anyone who sees themselves in it. Intense emotions are shared human experiences: you are never alone in feeling them. While this project is deeply personal, it is not solely for the artist but for everyone who sometimes feels just as lost and uncertain.
