Lauren Shapiro uses 3D scanning of underwater worlds, digital fabrication, and mold-making techniques to create ceramics inspired by her expeditions into nature. Driven by a profound interest in the intricate relationships of natural systems, she draws on science to deepen the biological insights imbued in her work. Through her sculptures, she uncovers hidden realms that help establish a stronger connection with the environment.
