Qhov Tsim

Txog Synthetic Blue Duab Puab

Synthetic Blue yog ib qho duab puab uas zoo li tus ntses hiavtxwv jellyfish. Qhov duab puab no yog tsim tag nrho los ntawm cov diav rawg yas siv ib zaug pov tseg uas muab coj los siv dua, muab hluav taws kub yaig kho dua tshiab thiab muab txaws ruaj khov rau hauv cov kua resin. Lub duab kaus mom loj no yog tsim los ntawm kev nias thiab kev tswj hluav taws kub, uas khaws cia cov nqaij daim tawv nraud zoo li cov nqaij daim nyias ntawm tsiaj txhu. Qhov duab puab no txawb rau hauv ib lub phaj resin ntiav uas muaj ntoo ua ncej vij puag ncig, uas ua kom zoo li nplaim dej uas pom yeeb yam. Cov neeg saib yuav xub pom qhov khoom no zoo li ib tug tsiaj hauv hiavtxwv, ces mam li pom tias yog cov yas uas muab pov tseg, qhov kev hloov pom no ua rau sawvdaws xav txog qhov teebmeem uas cov khib nyiab ua rau cov tsiaj hauv hiavtxwv.

Pob Xov Xwm

Cov credit, cov neeg pab thiab cov ntsiab lus kev txawj ntse muab los ntawm tus tsim.

Yam Tshwj Xeeb: The sculpture is constructed entirely from reclaimed disposable plastic utensils that have been thermally reshaped and permanently embedded in resin.

The piece rests within a shallow resin basin framed in wood. Integrating material recycling, biomimetic morphology, and controlled thermoplastic manipulation, the work synthesizes sustainability, process-driven form, and ecological narrative into a cohesive sculptural object.
Qhov Loj & Ntim: The object is positioned within a shallow resin basin framed by wood, simulating a reflective water surface. This base establishes spatial context while stabilizing the structure.

The project merges material recycling, biomimetic morphology, and controlled thermoplastic manipulation into a single cohesive object.
Cov Ntsiab Lus: Art，Sustainable Design，Environmental friendly，Product Design
Thev Naus Laus Zis Tsim Khoom: The sculpture is constructed entirely from reclaimed disposable plastic utensils that have been thermally reshaped and embedded in resin. The dome structure is formed through compression and controlled heat processes, preserving surface textures that resemble biological membranes.
Kev Sib Tw Tsim Qauv: The primary challenge was balancing structural stability with organic irregularity. Thermoplastic materials deform unpredictably under heat, requiring iterative experimentation to maintain translucency without
collapse.

Another challenge involved achieving water-like optical depth within a shallow resin base while preserving clarity and minimizing air bubbles.
Kev Tshawb Fawb: It explores thermoplastic reconfiguration and biomimetic form translation. Through experimental heating and compression methods, disposable plastic utensils were transformed into semi-organic structures while maintaining evidence of their original function.

The research investigates how material memory, translucency, and deformation can simulate marine morphology. The work also examines visual misidentification as a design strategy, translating ecological phenomena into object-scale form.
Kev Txhawb Siab: Sea turtles often mistake floating plastic for jellyfish, leading to fatal ingestion. Synthetic materials have infiltrated natural ecosystems.

Synthetic Blue emerges from this resemblance. Instead of symbolically depicting marine life, the project reshapes discarded plastic utensils into a form that mimics the fragile translucency of a jellyfish.

By transforming waste into a seductive marine apparition, the work exposes the paradox of artificial beauty and environmental harm.
Lub Sij Hawm Ua Hauj Lwm: Designed and fabricated in California, USA, 2024–2025.
Exhibited in 2025 at:
• Some Like It Hot, California Creative Arts, CA
• Pocket Gallery, Burbank, CA
Txheej Txheem Ua Hauj Lwm: Viewers first encounter the sculpture as a delicate marine organism due to its translucent surface and aquatic coloration.

As proximity increases, the identity of disposable plastic materials becomes recognizable. This perceptual transition — from aesthetic admiration to material awareness — forms the primary interaction mechanism.

The work operates through visual deception and revelation, mirroring the ecological misrecognition that inspired it.
