STATEMENT OF ART:
Design is the alchemy of transforming the mundane into the magnificent, a symphony of form and function where aesthetics and utility embrace in a harmonious dance. It is the thoughtful response to a need, a silent dialogue between creator and user, where each curve, line, and texture is a whisper of consideration. Design is a deliberate act of empathy, an understanding that materials are not mere substances, but the very skin of our ideas, bearing the weight of environmental and social impacts. In its essence, design is the art of crafting experiences, a philosophical quest to balance the tangible with the intangible, sculpting the world not just as it is, but as it could be - a reflection of our highest aspirations, desires, and dreams.
