The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration.

“Denim Ocean” is a dynamic composition of 16 unique squares crafted from recycled denim and linen, blending the pliable properties of denim with the fluid form of water. Inspired by denim’s versatility and the rolling nature of waves, I designed modules that capture the essence of movement and texture. The composition goes beyond the exploration of form–it explores sustainable means of design. Each module is made of old clothing, and the frame is made from delivery boxes. “Denim Ocean” has inspired and challenged me to explore the limits of architecture and sustainability within my work.

Tragedy
2024
Tragedy of the Commons is a concept that refers to the negative impacts that come from humans focusing on their own self-interest and taking too much of a natural resource. The fish hooks in the canvas are attached to both the fish and the hand, representing the array of outcomes human greed can have. This fish in particular is an Atlantic bluefin tuna, which is endangered due to overfishing. When I was in Japan for a school trip, I was shocked to see one of these fish in a container of ice outside of a restaurant near Dotonbori Canal. I knew that it wasn’t out of the ordinary to see fish for sale, but this one had been mauled and torn apart. The image stayed in my mind through my environmental science class later that year, and I was inspired to take what I had seen and turn it into a piece.
