“Overlooked invites viewers to rediscover the hidden details of nature. Through this series, I highlight the delicate, often-invisible aspects of the environment, encouraging a deeper appreciation for these fleeting wonders. Inspired by Kintsugi—the Japanese art of mending broken objects with gold—I combine natural materials with human-made elements in my sculptures to reflect our relationship with the environment and the beauty found in imperfection.”
