A body of work that highlights my stance in solidarity with the people and women of Iran fighting against the oppression and violence towards women inspired by the death of Mahsah Amini. I performed an act of cutting my hair that would be burned on the surface of the vessel, most typically called Horse Hair Pottery or Horse Hair Raku, and shared a video of my process on social media, receiving hundreds of messages from all over the globe. In a world of global unrest we are all experiencing our own fights for rights of choice. I was able to share that and build a community of shared sentiment that just proves there is hope and humanity in the world. This vessel is made of porcelain thrown on the pottery wheel, and finished with the burn markings of human hair. This vessel does not hold water and bares a micro surface cracks that makes it especially fragile. The cracks mirrors the burn marks and only emphasizes the fragility and strength of the fight for women's rights around the world. This vase comes is protected by a 12 x 12 x 12 inch glass box for display purposes.

She is actively involved with several artist organizations, including the Clay Art Guild in Watermill, NY, The Montauk Art Association, The South Bay Art Association, Guild Hall, The Patchogue Arts Council, and Gallery North. Her work has garnered international attention, with her Femme Sole Signature Collection showcased at prestigious exhibitions such as 1000 Vases in Paris and Milan in 2022, and Red Dot Miami.
