Rising From the ashes

*Metals II Midterm Fall 2023
Plique-a-Jour Enamel, Copper

A tribute to the fleeting whimsy and imagination of youth. Where do they go as we age? Light flares from the geometric copper frame, illuminating translucent glass enamel in vibrant colors. Hung beside my bed, it adorns a sacred space, embodying both loss and resilience. Images of mythical creatures—a dragon and a phoenix—evoke memories of a childhood wonder that was left behind in the ashes of my family home. This lamp becomes an ode to that wonder, a place where the magic of youth is remembered and allowed to thrive, even without its tangible objects. It illuminates my space with a reminder that curiosity and awe can endure beyond time, outshining the weight of life's burdens. Like a phoenix, always rising from the ashes, a testament to resilience and renewal.
