Technique : Sculpting with natural wood and a glossy finish to create a complex, organic, and dense form; designing layered folds that compress memory, identity, and experience within. The technique focuses on transforming a single material into a multifaceted expression of existence, rendered through psychological and nonlinear form

A dense, interwoven form, its folds like memory, experience, or identity compressed into each other. Neither revealed nor concealed; neither human nor object—but something between being and being understood. *A Self in Layers* is the sculpture of the contemporary soul: layered, enigmatic, endlessly rewriting itself. A piece that screams through silence: ‘I do not end—I only become more complex.’
