Visual & Structural Development
The fabrication involved molding, casting, and surface finishing of fiberglass, ensuring structural integrity while maintaining visual clarity and surface texture. Special attention was given to how light interacts with the material, accentuating the form and creating depth.
The final result presents a hybrid object that balances practicality with conceptual design, inviting viewers and users to consider the creative possibilities of everyday objects when reimagined through experimental materials and design thinking.
