So much of who we are is inherited.
Patterns.
Gestures.
Ways of setting a table.
Ways of caring.
Many of the plates I use carry traditional floral motifs — designs passed down through generations. They reflect cultural tastes, domestic rituals, and ideas of beauty from another time.
When I cut and reassemble these patterns, I am in conversation with heritage.
I do not copy tradition.
I rearrange it.
I take inherited fragments and build something that belongs to now.
Heritage, in my work, is not static. It is living. It is adaptable. It is something we shape as much as it shapes us.
My mosaics are made of fragments from many homes — just as identity is made of many influences.
We are all assembled pieces of history, reimagined in the present.
