Masked Identity Project Objective: To create a mask that explores one's identity Artist Statement: Identity is something that is rooted within all individuals. It is something everyone is forced to deal with and determine within themselves. When creating this mask, I thought about man's identity as a whole. Where did man originate from? Where was man before now? The one thing that kept coming back to my mind was nature. This is something that is the core of our being. No matter what happens in life, we can always turn back to nature. It's where we came from. I chose to create a mask that exhibited man within nature, but also where man is today. I wanted to show that while man is rooted in nature, we now have a dependence on technology. As much as one would love to be back within their natural state, we cannot escape the impending doom of the phone in our hands, the computer in our lap...

Memento Objective: To create a memory using three materials Artist Statement: When I was ten, my Oma took my brother, my cousins, and myself to the Cornell Glass Museum. Once there, we all ran off to explore but I found myself still with my Oma. We began talking and somehow got on the topic of her living through the Holocaust. This was the only time in my life that she has ever even mentioned it. The memento I created encompasses my Oma, as well as the Glass Museum. I wanted to create something that embodied my Oma, her kindness, yet her strict and hard exterior, as well as the Holocaust. My final result was a piece of resin, resembling glass, that is filled with flower petals and ash, resembling my Oma and the horrible atrocities that she lived through.
