Shell Translation Plaster Tile

2025

Inspired by the form of a seashell, I designed a 2D graphic and translated it into a series of relief plaster sculptures—exploring distance, depth, rhythm, movement, and space. Through hands-on experimentation, I gained insight into the materiality of grey foam, silicone, plaster, and carving tools, uncovering their roles in the sculptural process.

Light/ Shadow Play

I explored the interplay of light and shadow with my tiles and quickly realized how essential these elements were in shaping the rhythm of their movement. Depending on the angle of the light source, entirely new patterns would emerge, making light and shadow integral to the composition itself.
