This project engages biomaterial experimentation with gelatin, milk protein (casein), discarded paper made into pulp, and eggshell—material remnants of animal and plant bodies and waste.

Reverentia (Latin) denotes awe, reverence, and deep respect. Each material experiment is approached as an act of curiosity, attention and reciprocity, revealing the beautiful subtleties of these organic materials under transformation. Through casting in glass, silicone, and plastic molds and slow dehydration at low heat, the materials are allowed to shift, settle, and slightly deform over time, producing poetic compositions.
