Low-Residency Master of Fine Arts Degree

As a traditional sculptor who has recently expanded my artistic horizons in response to the pandemic, I explore the realms of embodiment and posthumanism in my work. While rooted in traditional sculpting techniques, I have embraced new avenues of expression through digital 3D modeling and virtual reality (VR). This evolution in my practice allows me to delve deeper into the intricate relationship between technological advancements and human progress that has long captivated my imagination. As we navigate an era where artificial intelligence, robotics, sustainable agriculture, and scientific endeavors merge to combat the effects of climate change, the blurred lines between science fiction and reality offer fertile ground for exploration. In the context of posthumanism, my work challenges conventional notions of human identity, consciousness, and agency, inviting viewers to contemplate the profound impact of these advancements on humanity and our understanding of what it truly means to be human.
