The Colors of Stress
How can I materialize emotion, specifically stress?
What color would you choose to express your stress?
I visually reveal the colors of stress hidden within the clear glass and try to explore emotions through stressed glass pieces. I approach the word “stress” in the context of stressed glass as having a dual meaning: in the physical sense stress is manifested in the physical structure of glass, while metaphorically stress has an emotional meaning and is manifested in the mind and body of an individual.

SNR1 - SNR450
Shattered glass fragments from stressed glass
18 x 10 ft
2022
I came to RISD and have been working on revealing the colors of stress hidden within clear glass. Glass expands and contracts when it is heated and cooled. If a glass piece is not annealed for an appropriate amount of time, it will get stressed and explode. I make stressed glass objects in various ways and in the process, more than 70% of the glass pieces can not withstand the stress, and crack or explode. I have collected these shattered fragments of glass that have been left in every corner of my studio for the past year and a half. Can the results of the natural properties of glass be called failures? I think these fragments deserve to be displayed in my graduation exhibition.
