Overview
My installations are vibrant patchwork veils of stained glass reimagined. Through intricate wirework and mixed media collage, these creations invite visitors into a world where nature and art converge in a celebration of life. Visitors can experience joy from a symphony of hues that dance and mirror the exuberant beauty of the orchids.
Goals
To create an immersive colorful backdrop for visitors to capture themselves in with the orchids. I wanted the viewer to see glimpses of themselves in the mirrors. Watching themselves make memories.
