Quiet Monuments is a collection of ceramic tabletop sculptures that explores connection, family, and the ways relationships evolve over time. Each piece, made up of two parts joined together, draws from childhood memories of dried Chinese bottle gourds that adorned our home, tide pools we explored, and arched boulders we observed along coastal bluffs. These natural forms remain with me as symbols of protection, shelter, and fluidity—mirroring the shifting yet meaningful bonds we develop throughout our lives.

This collection of ceramic wall reliefs is dedicated to externalizing personal observations and emotions into tangible keepsakes. Each piece memorializes something in particular: an everyday object, a small gesture, a fleeting moment, a peculiar memory, or a specific time and place. These forms are visual explorations of sentimentality, a result of my continual attempts to preserve the ephemeral.

MOUTH
Cookie jars are a little mysterious to me, since I had never interacted with one growing up. In my imagination, the idea of reaching into the mouth of the container might suck me in - a portal to the unknown
