About
the
Work
When you bring a piece from this chamber into your home, you acquire more than just a sculpture. You hold the fragment of a journey in your hands – a symbol of strength, endurance, and the quiet fire that continues to burn after the struggle.
Finding
the silence
in the stone
I primarily work with marble and limestone, sometimes also with sandstone and granite – materials that have been shaped by human hands for millennia. Each piece begins as a solid block and is carved directly, without casting or reproduction. The process is physical and full of resistance. The material sets boundaries, demands decisions, and often guides the outcome in a new direction.
The form is not imposed upon the stone but developed in dialogue with it. In addition to my own artistic work, I am employed as a surface finisher (hand finisher) in a stone workshop. My approach to sculpture is self-taught – driven not by academic training, but by an enduring fascination with the material itself. Stone endures. It carries time within itself and outlives its creator.
This permanence shapes the work – resulting in objects that exist somewhere between artifact and pure presence. The act of carving moves between power and control. It is a confrontation with resistance – and at the same time, a quiet, focused process. As I work the stone, I also process inner tension, doubt, and fear. What remains is not just the form, but the trace of this process.

For me, stone is more than just a medium – it is a mirror.
My journey into the Mythic Ember Chamber began with the realization that stone demands honesty. It allows no shortcuts.
In the heavy, rhythmic strike of the chisel, I found a way to move through the echoes of my own past – confronting old fears and childhood experiences that once felt as unyielding as granite. Every sculpture I carve is a testament to this confrontation. Working with stone for twenty hours or more means staying entirely present with oneself.
It is an act of transformation: turning the cold weight of the past into a silent, powerful presence.
