Encapsulation

About the Project

Encapsulation is a sculptural study in suspension and memory—crafted through the physical intensity of hot glass and the delicate construction of wire and metal. A tree, hand-twisted from copper wire, stands anchored inside the solid clarity of poured glass. Nearby, a silver moon—cut from sheet metal—hovers with quiet presence.

The process was both intuitive and technical: I constructed a mold with steel bars, then poured molten glass in layers, pausing to embed the tree and moon before sealing them within a second pour. The result is a moment of stillness forged through heat—a time capsule of gesture and glow, where the organic meets the elemental.

Under light, the suspended forms cast refracted shadows, evoking a miniature cosmos—rooted and celestial. The copper tree arcs toward the moon like a memory stretching through space, while tiny bubbles frozen in motion amplify the sense of breath held mid-air.
