My practice explores opposing forces: weight and weightlessness, rigidity and softness, containment and collapse. Inspired by Simone Weil’s Gravity and Grace, the work examines the visible and invisible structures that govern how we move, feel, and endure.

Using industrial metal frameworks to support brightly coloured fabric forms, I stage a tension between materials. The fabric — stretched, slumped, or suspended — appears heavy in places, despite its lightness. This illusion plays with perception: what looks burdened is in fact buoyant, what seems solid is in fact fragile.

The soft sculptures behave in unexpected ways, challenging the viewer’s sense of material logic. Gravity pulls, but the fabric resists — caught, held, or sagging under imagined weight. These moments of suspension become metaphors for emotional or psychological states: resilience under pressure, grace within constraint.

Each joint and bracket becomes a site of negotiation, where support risks becoming a limitation. Through this choreography of structure and slump, the work invites the viewer to consider how grace might emerge not in spite of gravity, but through it.
