It starts with a spark—an idea I sketch and develop, considering how it will shape the space and resonate with the community. As I move from concept to design, I collaborate with structural engineers and architects to ensure the piece is both visually impactful and structurally sound, solving practical issues like scale, weight and durability. Then come meetings with city officials, stakeholders, and community members, where I listen, compromise, and adapt my vision to meet diverse needs. The process can take years, marked by moments of doubt and discovery. But when the sculpture is finally installed, I see it as a collective creation belonging to everyone who helped shape it.
