My fascination with film puppetry drove the development of the Traveling Sprout Puppet. This piece explores the history of human storytelling and migration, inspired by nature's ingenious seed dispersal mechanisms. The puppet integrates multiple control systems: a string-operated marionette for leaf movement and head articulation, alongside stem-mounted control rods.  































































































The Devil Pod is a functional vessel that merges organic form with manufactured objects. I drew inspiration from the natural structure of the Water Caltrop/Trapa Natans, and biomechanical aesthetics from the work of H.R. Giger.
