Molded Roots explores the quiet yet powerful resilience of nature within urban environments. In many cities, trees and plants are confined by rigid man-made structures such as concrete pavements, cement walls, and metal grates, all built in the pursuit of a modern aesthetic. These artificial molds suffocate natural growth, forcing roots to twist, contort, and adapt just to survive.

This collection symbolizes the determined strength of roots that push through cracks in the pavement and continue to grow despite constraint. Molded Roots pays tribute to these underground acts of resistance, where life continues to thrive against the odds.

Imagine a human body growing inside a mold, subjected to pressure from all sides. This work invites reflection on the tension between organic life and the built environment, and on the incredible force required to grow when every direction resists you.
