“Delicate Space is a continuation of my ongoing inquiry into the multifaceted relationship shared between mankind and the natural world. In a time where our influence upon the environment has grown undeniable, this interplay has assumed a profound significance. Delicate Space provokes contemplation of two pivotal inquiries: What unfolds as a result of our interventions in the natural order? And how does our individual perception of the world around us shape our understanding of reality itself?

By challenging conventional ideas of equilibrium and perception, the interaction between materials references the delicate dance of coexistence that defines our relationship with the environment and nature's attempt to maintain harmony in the face of human interference.

Water, a recurring subject for me, with its ceaseless journey, serves as the central subject for this exhibition. As water flows through landscapes, carves valleys, and traverses ecosystems, it embodies nature's tenacity, always seeking balance. Just as water finds its level in the most fragile of spaces, so too does Delicate Space strive to explicate the moments when the balance between man and nature is at its most delicate.”
