A series of Sculptural works
Mixed Media | 2026
Newborn forms are
sealed inside glass jars—held between care, preservation, and confinement.
This body of work
is built around a simple image: a newborn head placed inside a glass jar.
The jars are
familiar objects—used to preserve food, to store, to protect. Here, they hold
something that cannot be preserved.

Each form is
contained, isolated, and removed from any living context. The jar protects, but
it also separates. What is inside is no longer part of the world—it is held,
stored, and fixed in place.
The material
shifts across the series. Some surfaces remain soft and flesh-like, while
others harden into plaster and concrete. This movement—from softness to
rigidity—marks a change in the body itself. Something that could grow or
respond becomes still, resistant, and unchanging.
The newborn form
is used here as a point of beginning. But this beginning does not unfold. It is
interrupted before it can take shape.
There is no
direct depiction of violence. Instead, the work holds its aftermath—something
already contained, already stabilized. What remains is a suspended condition,
where life is present but unable to continue.
