"Trail Head" (2024)

Trail Head is a sculpted graduation cap topper created as a gift for a coworker marking the completion of an important chapter and the beginning of a new journey. The piece features a forest trail winding past a fallen log and a well used water bottle, suggesting a moment of pause before setting out on the path ahead. Inspired by the symbolism of hiking and exploration, the work reflects themes of transition, perseverance, and the anticipation that comes with new opportunities.
