The project is titled ‘Crystal Bloom’ and is inspired by the formation of snow crystals. Every snowflake is distinctive due to its lone journey through the atmosphere all the way to the ground. Through these artwork I have explored the fantasy of what if the crystals captured what they witnessed. An experience that reflects into its structure and colors. These sculptures portray the interconnection between individuality, life experiences and perception that affects us all. The title of each artwork hints at its story.
