Research Areas
I am passionate about exploring indigenous knowledge in ceramics practices, contemporary design within commercial ceramics, and innovative approaches to raw materials in ceramics. I enjoy pushing boundaries in these areas. Additionally, my interests extend to the sculptural aspects of artistic innovations, drawing inspiration from art history and academic discourses.,
