Inspiration Piece: Marble Akroterion (Greek, Classical Period) from the Metropolitan Museum of Art archives.

Concept: An akroterion is an architectural ornament placed at the apex or corners of a classical pediment, designed to draw the eye upward and anchor a structure's visual weight.

This piece inspired "Akroterion Transformation of Time," a conceptual journey that translates ancient structural geometry into wearable armor, tactile metalwork, and finally, a translucent modern glass couture gown for a 2026 Met Gala setting. It explores how classical structural design evolves across millennia while retaining its core symmetry and fierce elegance.
