Tidal Rhythm

Polymer clay, mica powder, wire

2026

I was inspired by the memories connected to a necklace my mother had given me and wanted to create my own unique version. Using polymer clay for the first time, I created this by building layers and texture to reflect the flow of the water. I applied blue and green mica powder to achieve a shimmering, fish like surface. 

EXPOSURE

Cardboard, film, found objects, sculpture  

2026

I constructed this camera using cardboard, old film, found objects, and a Polaroid to give it a vintage feel. I included a picture of my grandfather and me to represent how photography can preserve meaningful memories. The camera captures a special moment between us. 

Frit and Fur

Glass, frit 

2026

This piece is inspired by my cousin's dog, whose familiar features and personality is recreated through layered colors and varied frit sizes. While working with glass, it allowed me to transform the softness and warmth of the dog’s appearance into a solid and shiny surface. Through this piece I explore how material, texture, and color can capture the character of a loved pet
