Like painting, sculpture also has a very tactile element and takes it to the next level.
The trophy heads on the left, made with ceramics, are part of a project that deals with ownership. They also intend to play with the idea of an alternate world in which humans are not the leading animal.
The following section documents some of my three-dimensional projects created from 2015 to 2016. 
This piece was commissioned based on a sculpture of my wife's work jacket that I did years before. The matching of texture and detail were of paramount importance to the client. The title pays homage to the artist Magritte, subverting efforts towards realism. I would argue that despite the degree of fidelity to reality achieved, no sculpture actually is another thing-- it is a sculpture. All three-dimensional artworks, even the highly realistic, are matrices of minute, precisely oriented, abstract sculptures.
