From Raw To Resonant

Every piece begins with fragments and becomes a story of growth.

Concepts

This mood board captures struggle and release. Black textures holding, gold veins rising, a story of emergence from within.

02

Build

I sculpt each piece by layering materials like clay, compound, and texture mediums. Shaping them by hand to build depth, emotion, and form through every curve and surface.

Sanding & Finishing

Details bring the piece alive: resin for depth, gold for resilience, texture for scars that speak.

04

Final Application

As the final touch, I selectively apply resin to enhance depth, preserve texture, and bring out the richness of each detail ensuring every piece feels both raw and refined.
