I create using the lost-wax technique, where wax is shaped, melted away, and reborn in metal.
What draws me is wax itself—fluid, elusive, never fully under control. It slips between intention and accident, sometimes yielding forms more perfect than I could design, other times resisting completely.
From these accidents, a curve, a spill a finished piece emerges. I treasure this unpredictability, where fleeting strokes of luck become something lasting.
Silver is a material of resilience and renewal. Polished, it regains brilliance; melted, it returns to itself. This endless cycle fascinates me.
In university I learned to save even the smallest filings, reborn into new material. Sometimes I reclaim silver from antiques or my grandmother’s jewellery, giving it a new beginning while carrying forward its quiet history.
Though rising costs make creation difficult, I remain committed. For me, silver is not just material but a partner—enduring, transforming, and shining anew.
From 2018 to 2024, my atelier was a corner of my room in Japan. Since then, I have continued my practice in London. Wherever I am, my routine is simple: working quietly in my own space, with the radio playing softly.
The tools I first used as a student have traveled with me, carrying the memory of every piece. In my hands they feel as natural as ever connecting past to present, Japan to London, and one room to another.
