This is where materials become ideas. Some things work. Some things collapse immediately. All of them count.

🫧 Making Philosophy

I don't aim for perfection — I aim for "this exists now."

If it made me curious enough to try, it was worth making.

🖼️ Finished Gallery

Experiments happen here. Finished pieces hang in Things Cindy Has Made — the gallery wing of the museum. 🏛️

Last day of law school (Apr 2018): painted a heart-shaped duck rock. 🐤 The collection had to start somewhere.
