"In my practice, I eagerly explore the experimental construction of material memory using existing raw materials such as avocados, bananas, and berries. I am continuously diminishing the original form of said objects with my casting methods which combine the fruits with juxtaposing materials such as red latex, brown sugar, lime juice and wax, strawberry jam etc. By merging these materials, I question the depletion of the original function or properties of the inanimate fruit objects by chemically manipulating their lifespan, appearance, and material properties."
