In this project, I examine my identity as a designer. I thought that my identity was in my soul, but I realized it was in my whole body, especially in my hand. From here, I started designing a collection of objects that express my personal language. I start working straight on the material, researching it, and experimenting with it to formulate my ideas. I chose to design around my hand because it is an essential part of the project, in that it creates the work itself. My goal in this project is to create a harmonious relationship between me and wood and metal. Materials: mulberry wood, cherry wood and metal (yellow brass) working techniques: wood carving, pouring metal into wood
