Catalyst

Bridging process and meaning…

“Catalyst” stands as both a departure from and an extension of my communication series, rooted in the exploration of process and state of mind. The work began with the deliberate act of spelling out the word cast repeatedly, reinterpreting it through various forms and techniques. This repetition became meditative, less about the final product and more about the journey of creation—a reflection of thought processes in flux.

While my communication series delves into themes of identity and connection, Catalyst exists as a singular exploration of transformation, curiosity, and the act of making. It bridges the two bodies of work through its conceptual underpinnings but distinguishes itself by emphasizing experimentation and the tactile relationship between material and meaning.

This work serves as a hinge, inviting viewers to consider how the iterative process itself becomes a dialogue—between maker, material, and meaning. Catalyst is less about conclusions and more about the act of searching, embodying the energy of curiosity and the transformative potential of creation.
