THE HUMAN CONNECTION 1 2024
A multi-media sculpture using only three typical materials: fabric, transparent paper, and rope. The composition is made up of three different scenes depicting the stages of a relationship — strangers, friends, and lovers. The intensity of the red string varies between each stage, showing the different levels of the their connection throughout their relationship. The fabric figures (1st set) represent closed-off strangers, not knowing that they are connected by a single thread of string. Then, the figures made of transparent paper (2nd set) exemplify their connection deepening, and the strangers letting their guard down and becoming more “transparent”.

Lastly, the rope figures (3rd set) showcase the intense connection of two different people, and the intertwined mess it can make. A red marker was used to add to the intensity of each stage, leaving the lovers to have the most powerful connection out of the three. The figures were then glued down to a wooden board and finished.
THE HUMAN CONNECTION 2 2024
A group project that instructed us to combine ideas from all of our previous projects, and create one singular work. Ideas of intimacy and relationships first emerged when looking at all three of our oringial projects. This sculpure was created to represent the fragileness of the human connection, and amplify that onto a bigger scale. The hands were first sculpted with tin foil, then topped with layers of paper mache. Then, holes were pierced inside the hands which allowed the hands to then be held up with a strong rope. Black string was used to tie a connection between the two hands symbolizing the tender human touch.
EYES 2023
A spinning mobile created out of wire, plexiglass, tissue paper, and clear string for my 3D class. The blue base of the eyes were laser cut from a sheet of plexiglass and later finished with tissue paper to mimic evil eyes. The eyes turn and spin naturally allowing them to be seen from all angles.
