Through Plasma Light Sculpture, I explore modern catastrophes through the lens of the divine feminine. Contrasting mythology with technology and reexamining historical narratives via 21st-century perspectives, my work considers survival, transformation, and degradation as material and cultural conditions. 

Scientific glass techniques are essential to my practice, allowing me to pierce, encase, and construct multi-chamber forms with differing gas environments. For generations, women were excluded from glassmaking within scientific and industrial contexts, and these histories continue to shape access to technical knowledge. As a woman working within a male-dominated field, I negotiate the dualities of strength and fragility through materially risky processes. 

Initially, my sculptures appear delicate; however, they exist under vacuum, sustaining fourteen pounds of pressure per square inch. These sculptures function as sealed vessels containing precise mixtures of gases that, when subjected to an electrical field, undergo ionization. A shift in matter occurs, inducing illumination only if its internal conditions remain balanced. 

By referencing mythology through objects made possible through contemporary technology, I challenge how fragile systems are sustained, who bears responsibility for their care, and what remains when the energy required to maintain them is withdrawn.
