Integrative Seminar 1: Avatar – Final LP Reflection Post
In Integrative Studio and Seminar, I have been introduced to many ideas and concepts through our Bridge exercises, required readings, creating projects, artistic practices, journal entries and class discussions. I clearly still remember when we first had to introduce ourselves by guessing a unique fact about each other in Studio, and choose a Hindu mythological…
Space/Materiality Final Project #3 – Soft Sculpture/Textiles
Mood board & Ideas: For my final project, I wanted to do something associated with an expressive form of sculpture and textiles. The first thing that came to mind were peacock feathers. Peacocks use their feathers to show off in order to attract a mate, and they are vibrant expressive feathers on their backs that…
Bridge 4: Avatar Project
For my Avatar project, I really wanted to do a concept in the category of mythology. Mythology was always an interesting topic to me, so in brainstorming ideas, I automatically remembered mermaids, which brought me to my childhood memories. I remembered ever since I was a child, after watching the little mermaid, how obsessed…

Inspired by one of my paintings, I created a outline of the geometric shapes and waves surrounding the shapes, and created a tracing of it on Bristol in the laser lab.
Bridge 3: Collective Manifesto
Bridge 3 Experience Reflections: I really enjoyed working in a supporting group, our collective ideas as one turned out to come to the light as an art installation. Planning out our concept, finding and constructing our materials, and setting our installation up in Washington Square Park was truly a eye-opening experience. From our own installation…
Bridge 3: Collective Boundary Exploration and Public Reading
The fence is enframing two people who are seemingly locked within a loving embrace. The “fence” keeps out everything but the couple; however, viewers can pass through. The cage protects or shields the figures from the arch. The arch is decorated with images symbolizing war and peace, and perhaps the cage is attempting to protect…
Space/Materiality: Body – Foam core models, mood-board and grid drawings
Design Concept: I wanted my creation to show the beauty of nature in a perfect geometric form. My ideas browsed mostly through animals and natural elements, such as deer, bears, horses, fish etc. I later came across bees in a honeycomb, and was instantly attracted to the visual image of the shapes I saw. Perfectly…
