Erika's work focuses on sculpture and installation, often drawing inspiration from the overlooked or forgotten aspects of everyday life, such as children's origami creations, ripples in water, and the interplay of light and shadow. She utilizes a wide range of materials, including glass, marble, metal, wood, as well as paper and fabric.
Life is often filled with setbacks and frustrations, and sorrow and pain are inevitable. Therefore, I hope to create things that are visually pleasing, bringing a bit of joy to life. However, there may already be too many purely aesthetic work in the world, so I also hope my pieces can tell stories— stories that connect people with the world and evoke a sense of resonance. This is often the starting point for my creative process.
