Intertwined Essence investigates the intricate relationships between human experiences and the non-human world through the integration of ready-made objects and natural materials. The central component of the work is a wooden clip—a familiar, functional object traditionally used to preserve and hold. In this context, the clip operates as a conduit for personal reflection, symbolizing the human impulse to retain and transform memories. In the composition, the wooden clip is carefully integrated with natural elements such as smoky quartz, shell, seed pods, and wood. Each material contributes its inherent qualities and histories, creating layered meanings and resonances. Through this interplay, the work seeks to illuminate the complex interconnections between identity, memory, and environment, encouraging viewers to reconsider their perceptions and reflect on the delicate balance between human and non-human realms.
