In this project, the artist has bitten off the doe’s ears, leaving her bite marks directly on the ceramic piece.
Dinner Platter explores the themes of fragility and space. Ceramics are typically perceived as delicate objects, often placed on pedestals to prevent breakage. This piece defies that by being suspended from the ceiling with a red rope, reminiscent of Shibari art. The hanging position heightens the tension and vulnerability of the ceramic, challenging the viewer’s perceptions of fragility and the environment.

The doe’s head symbolizes the concept of femininity, often linked with fragility and youth in contemporary culture. The vibrant, doll-like colors of the head were intentionally selected to emphasize this notion of femininity, giving it a "dollified" appearance. This is further accentuated by the lifelessness of the piece, exploring ideas around dolls, femininity, and fragility.
