The Glorious Middle
My life has always existed between worlds. Born in one country and raised in another, my roots stretch across cultures and oceans. For years that in-between space felt uncertain. Eventually I realized it was not emptiness — it was perspective.
Living on the North Shore of Hawai‘i revealed this truth more clearly than ever. Standing at the ocean’s edge, watching the horizon where sea rises to meet the sky, I began to understand the middle as something universal.
We live there too — between forces above and below, between motion and stillness, chaos and balance.
My work explores that fragile seam. Whether carving surfboards shaped by the ocean or creating forms that seem to float between worlds, each piece reflects the tension and harmony that define our lives.
The middle is not a place of uncertainty.It is where transformation begins.
