I created this glass installation as an exploration of transformation, material, and perception. The project began with a discarded dress and sock, which I used as the foundation for a kiln-cast glass piece that preserved the collapsed form of fabric while removing its original softness and function.

The challenge was transforming an object associated with the human body and everyday use into something unfamiliarand open to interpretation. Through the casting process, I explored the contrast between fragility and permanence, creating a rigid impression of something that was once flexible, worn, and personal.

I placed the glass forms within natural environments, including water, rocks, and wildflowers, to explore the relationship between object and surroundings. As light changed and reflections shifted, the pieces moved between visibility and disappearance, appearing to dissolve into the landscape.

This project examines emptiness, transformation, and the way meaning can change through context. By removing the original purpose of the objects, I created a space where perception becomes the focus and the viewer determines the relationship between the piece and its environment.
