Duh 👇
It’s the first work I created with a technique I call ‘Colorizing,’ where I inlay materials to form intricate patterns and designs.”
This makes each piece feel even more alive and unique.
And that’s why I plan to use this technique in the future a lot. So, stay tuned and check out my socials to see more works like this.
