Cast & Character extends the questions first explored in Catalyst: how pressure shapes form, how memory settles into material, and how identity emerges through transformation. Each piece begins as a fragment—a letter, a mark—and gains weight through the casting process.

The studio lives between language and structure. Character isn’t added; it’s revealed through what the material holds onto: edges, impressions, and the record of how it was made. Cast & Character continues the inquiry of how form becomes meaning and how making becomes its own kind of origin.

Store opening in 2026.
