A World Being Read
Medium: Air Dry Clay
Size: 7" x 5.5" x 1.5"
This sculpture shows a hollowed-out book with a spoon and broken pieces inside.
The book, usually a symbol of knowledge, becomes a space where things are taken and used.
The spoon represents how people often take resources without thinking, while the broken pieces suggest damage to nature or society.
It made me think: when we try to understand the world, are we also slowly using it up?
The fragile clay shows how easily things can be changed or lost.

Recycled Cat
Medium: Paper Mâché (Recycled Newspaper & Magazine), Mixed Media
Dimensions: 3D Sculpture (Variable)
This sculpture is made from recycled newspapers and magazines, transforming waste materials into a playful cat figure. The process shows how discarded items can be given a new purpose.
I designed the cat from sketches and different views, then built the form using paper mâché and added color patterns. The textured surface reflects the handmade process.
This project also extends beyond sculpture. I developed storyboards to turn this original character into an animation, exploring how a physical artwork can become part of a larger creative story.
Through this work, I explore creativity, sustainability, and how ideas can grow from simple materials into something meaningful.
Centered Motion
Medium: Ceramic (Glazed Clay)
Size: 3D Sculpture
This ceramic piece combines a flowing, colorful base with a simple star form, creating a balance between movement and stability.
Through this work, I explore how motion and stillness can exist together in one design.
Color in Motion
Medium: Ceramic (Glazed Clay)
Size: 3D Sculpture
This ceramic piece combines a flowing, colorful base with a simple star shape on top. The swirling colors create a sense of motion, while the solid form keeps the piece stable and balanced.
I explored how glaze can move and blend during the process, creating unexpected patterns and textures. The contrast between the smooth color surface and the simple shape adds visual interest.
Through this work, I explore how movement and stillness can exist together in one object.
