An exploratory material and process design project exploring how laser-cut paper patterns can be transformed into sculptural 3D forms through wax dipping.

Flat patterns are submerged in a heated sealing wax bath and, when lifted out, the weight and viscosity of the wax pull them into three-dimensional forms that quickly harden as the wax cools.

Developed through iterative testing of pattern geometries, wax behavior, and custom fixtures, the project resulted in a series of open-ended artifacts that sit between sculpture, product, and process demonstration.
