Using a 3D printing pen and Polylactic Acid, I draw each freeform piece line by line in space. This slow, repetitive process captures intimate gestures, echoing domestic routines and inherited craft languages. Worn on the body, these abstract forms resemble breath, thread, or scaffolding. They reflect emotional weight without physical heaviness, inviting the viewer to consider what lies beneath the surface. By focusing on delicate structures and tactile presence, this collection makes visible what is often hidden: personal history, displacement, care, and the hand’s role in shaping meaning. Ultimately, these wearable pieces invite reflection on how even the smallest objects can hold profound memory, time, and connection.
