In my most recent project, I created a Fluxus box based on the theme of forgetting/memory loss. We were asked to choose a movie to spark an idea for our theme, and my theme came from the movie The Notebook.

I started this project by finding what wood pieces fit together to make a box. Luckily, I found 2 that were identical and would fit perfectly. I created the exterior of my box, then made a lid. I started with a piece of cardboard, and I scored it horizontally to fit the curved shape of the wood. To secure the shape, I paper-macheted it in place.

Next, I made my objects to fit inside the box. I played on the theme of forgetting things, so I created a brain, 2 puzzle pieces, 2 dice, and 2 medicine bottles.

To keep the pieces in place, I made 3 shelves with a lip, secured in place with wood glue, and reinforced them with duct tape.

This project helped me unpack how themes have multiple layers and surely, I learned to make different connections.

Wood Etching

In my most recent project, I created three non-representational sculptures using wood, wire, glue, paper, tape, and hot glue for the materials. Each piece communicates a different principle of design (repetition, focal point, and negative space). This body of work reflects my ongoing interest in how structure can evoke meaning without relying on recognizable representations.

These sculptures invite viewers to engage with pure form and spatial relationships. The piece, based on repetition, employs a rhythmic arrangement of wooden elements to establish visual cadence and movement. The focal point sculpture draws attention to a singular dominant form, guiding the viewer’s gaze through line and directional flow. The negative space sculpture uses the absence of material to become the central subject, challenging viewers to look through the wire shape.

Wood was chosen for its hard and reliable form. Each sculpture was constructed through the process of putting random objects together in hopes of achieving a non-representational sculpture.

This project deepened my understanding of abstract and formal design. I was able to explore how viewers perceive and interpret space without representational cues. My intent is not to tell a story, but to provoke curiosity and encourage viewers to consider how repetition, emphasis, and voids shape their experience of form.
