FIREWORKS

The unlit firework embodies potential energy: ephemeral, exquisitely designed, and inherently unpredictable. As a child, I was drawn not only to their unique, sometimes amateurish label design but to the visceral, secret thrill of possession. Collecting them and holding this dangerous object in my room, unbeknownst to my parents, offered a tangible, intoxicating sense of control and responsibility over a potent force. This intimate fascination with the unignited state was the starting point for my artistic methodology. My early artistic practice was a literal deconstruction. Driven by the limited ways to "play," I would secretly disassemble my collection, combining existing powders and cardboard tubes to create novel, imaginative charges. This impulse to dissect and reconstruct a predefined potential led me to the core questions that now drive my work: How do we navigate the delicate territory between childhood wonder and the edges of danger? What transforms a hazard into an opportunity for profound discovery? These backyard experiments were not just rebellion; they were foundational inquiries. Email me for purchase inquiries.
