"Pynappel is a bronze sculpture depicting a pineapple-style fragmentation grenade, with a pinecone forming its base to mimic the grenade’s signature texture. This substitution of a natural object for a violent artifact draws attention to the environmental destruction caused by war, blurring the lines between the organic and the mechanical.
The sculpture’s making - carving, melting, filing, drilling - invokes traditionally masculine processes, echoing the gendered history of both war and sculpture. Its dark patina mimics military aesthetics, while the grenade’s implied fragmentation speaks to broader acts of violence - toward nature, toward bodies, and through history."

"The Hound is a small sculptural side project modeled after my own dog. Depicted lying on her back with her head twisted behind and only two legs visible, the figure captures a moment of playful vulnerability and abstracted form.
By distorting anatomy and emphasizing posture, the work becomes a gentle study in affection, character, and the strange ways we see those we love. It balances humor and tenderness, turning a familiar subject into something both personal and sculpturally expressive."
