"Becoming" was a project I worked on from 2021 to 2024, using 3D modeling, 3D printing with plastic, and electroforming. The concept is deeply personal, rooted in my experience with domestic violence—losing myself and "becoming" someone I no longer recognized. It’s about the gradual, painful transformation that emptied me of my identity, leaving something unrecognizable in its place.

For this project, I printed the models in plastic and then applied a layer of copper through electroforming. Afterward, I used a torch to burn away the plastic, leaving the hollow copper shell behind. To further enhance the sense of change and transformation, I submerged the forms in the electroforming bath again, allowing the surfaces to evolve and shift even more. The process mirrors the emotional and physical changes I experienced, creating a visual narrative of transformation.
