Walnut-Kozo Cabinet

This wall-hanging cabinet is made using Walnut and Kozo, a material used for making Japanese paper. I was inspired by Japanese design principals of asymmetry and austere beauty, embracing the imperfections in the wood and bringing them to the front of the piece.




Zen Room

 This is an installation I made taking inspiration from the principals of Zen Buddhism and creating a space inside a busy school for meditation. I filled the room with sand and gravel and made small cushions to sit on. I also made more of the lights you see below  which were the only source of light in the room. I was surprised at the amount of people that experienced this installation and who gave me positive feedback.
