Abstract

Zoom In Closer explores ideas of sensuality through glass and narratives. I am interested in the material qualities of glass, including translucency, fluidity, and warmth; and how these qualities can be translated into languages of intimacy. This thesis is based on personal experience and scholarly research on the enigma of female sexual desires. Zoom In Closer is a body of work that utilizes glass objects, glass processes, films, illustrations, and photography that question what does it means to live authentically despite the influences of rape culture.
